Firefly

I was lying on my cozy bed waiting for sleep to come. When I opened my eyes I saw a flicker of light floating around a tree. I blinked again thinking it was a figment of my imagination. And there I saw it again! A firefly! I tried looking for it again. But it was gone.

It was just a brief encounter. A magical experience nevertheless. I was transported to a land of dreams. A surge of indescribable joy filled every corner of my heart. The kind of excitement I’ve not felt for a very long time – akin to a child’s joy. Though it was a brief encounter, I’ll always remember the magic it brought with it.
