Firefly

By charline - Monday, April 08, 2013




As the ray of light suddenly diminished, the used to be well-lighted room was now covered with blind darkness; silence entirely muted every minute sound. Even the cast of the moon’s shadow was far from sight.

The place started to get humid and while groping in the dark in the hope of finding either a worn-out candle or a decent match, I stumbled in an almost endless staircase which made it more difficult if not totally impossible to search for the things I need.

That hurts like hell. I blurted out my frustration.

How could one possibly find those things without any light? I could only go as far as my visibility would lead me. Crazy. I smirked. Even when things came to light or even with broad daylight, the naked eyes can still refused to see and worse, the naked eyes could even deny existence, what more in a place filled with nothing but obscurity?

After my serious and tiring attempts, I decided to just stop. In that still moment of despair when rescue seemed to be futile and my exhaustion is at its all time high. I started to see..

A single…

No…

Many.. I started to see many fireflies flocking the vast wilderness of the night. Their natural glow defeated the gloom that besought the place.What appeared to be a moving constellation finally drowned the darkness.Losing light for a while is not that bad. I told myself.

While appreciating the beauty and gaiety of these fireflies, I managed to open my eyes somehow, not only with the things I just want to see but also with those I hate to see and finally embrace what I am yet to see.

In constantly amusing myself and totally forgetting the need to search for that heedless match/candle, the light made its way back.

Having to deal with darkness can be really dull and sullen but not when those fireflies are around. J
