FirefliesIn my dreams I see millions of fireflies flying in the dark and illuminating the night with their heavenly light. / As I am watching this scene unfold I see hundreds of frogs on the horizon as they march slowly towards the fireflies I witness a grisly scene. I start to see right before my eyes that the fireflies are being eaten by the frogs. At first one by one but soon hundreds of fireflies have fallen to the skillful tongues of frogs until only a handful of fireflies remain and then there is only one firefly left. Even as the frogs are trying to get that one last firefly it is brighter and lighter than the rest and it is able to easily avoid the tongues of the frogs until it begins to rise above the frogs and into the sky free from the frogs at last. I feel like sometimes we can be like fireflies sharing our light but when troubles come we can easily be swallowed by the frogs of life that try to bring us down but as long as we keep our inner light strong in ourselves we can be like the last firefly left easily avoiding the frogs of life that try to bog and you will rise any trials that life has to offer.

New BeginningsSave thyself and come down / From the cross / Likewise also the chief priests

Sign of the timesIt seems as if most people these days / Talk about the sign of the times. / It seems as if every generation

The Orange DoorA slow walk up Centennial / and I still can’t find the place / it's menacing cold, and muted

Getting Better Takes TimeMost days I find it hard to look in the mirror. / St times, I convince myself that no one would miss me if I were gone. / My scars tell stories that I wish I could keep to myself

A Few Little CutsA hole in her tender heart / An ache in her soul / Whose heart is that
