firefly christian

Firefly Christian
won't you shine your little light?
won't you twinkle in the darkness
won't you brighten up our night?

it's so hard to see your signals
flashing on and flashing off
I'm attracted to your light
like a candle and a moth

but the darkness is more lonely
when the dying light is lost
when you hide a way your glowstick
and forget to count the cost

then the darkness overwhelms me
though you flicker as before
I'll cling tighter to my twilight
I don't need you anymore.

are you midnight? are you shadow?
are you friend or are you foe?
chose your master choose your light source
and then let your candle glow.

Camping

Wrote this last year while camping ... just found it in a drawer

cricket screaming
fire dreaming

log poking
camfire smoking

burger boasting
'mellow roasting

dirt drinking
"DEET" reaking

sunstained cheeks
camping geeks

old guitar
hymnal vamping

nothing beats
church camp-out camping!
