A Little Radiance in the Dark
It is the end of twilight
When she sees a yellow flickering light
Little wings flying over tall grasses
As messenger of the unknown.
The sky grew darker gradually
And the flickering light changed to green
Giving a little radiance in the murkiness
That exhilarated everything around it.
The firefly gave her a sublime hope
Glinting in the darkness
To make her see the allure of the night
As it light up the dark sky.
The constant flickering made her realise
Not everything will always be bright
But in the duskiness of our lives
We should always search for the light.
Now she sees a hundred gleaming lights
In the new moon night
Little wings flying over tall grasses
As messengers of insight.
