Clear as Day<\/p>\n

One never knows until never is up,<\/p>\n
And then you know whatever it was<\/p>\n
You didn\u2019t know before never ran out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s kind of like this: A firefly<\/p>\n
Turns its own light on and off<\/p>\n
In an effort to get your attention.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Certain questions act the same way\u2014<\/p>\n
Bobbing up and down, elusive\u2014<\/p>\n
Hints flashing among the dark trees;<\/p>\n
Every so often, and often again\u2014<\/p>\n
Someplace different\u2014a little to the left,<\/p>\n
A little higher, and sometimes, seemingly,<\/p>\n
Rising to the moon, all in an effort<\/p>\n
To be followed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Trick is\u2014and it is a trick\u2014keep watching<\/p>\n
For the lights\u2014they can bloom anywhere<\/p>\n
In the fields of summer darkness;<\/p>\n
When you see one, follow its green-tinted<\/p>\n
Ribbon where ever it goes, as best you can,<\/p>\n
And if you lose sight of it\u2014disappointment,<\/p>\n
Frustration\u2014are perfectly valid responses.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Try and remember this:<\/p>\n
When you fall asleep, and answers<\/p>\n
Lift through the trees\u2014out of reach\u2014<\/p>\n
Do your best to not give up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your dreams–along with a gathering of angels<\/p>\n
And shadows\u2014will ponder the questions for you,<\/p>\n
And when morning comes, and the dawning sun shines,<\/p>\n
It will all be clear as day.<\/p>\n
