The Firefly

(In a dark tunnel, he discovers light when a firefly comes into his palm only to go back away, sooner than he could believe )


The tunnel of darkness with no light at the end,
His life was multidimensional but with no purposeful intend.
Wasn't sad, never knew that light existed.
Moving around not sure if he should rather stay,
Didn't know where to reach but it was somewhere away.

Then one odd day,
Saw a pinch of light,
Ecstatic it was,
Never knew the feeling before,
He Couldn't have asked for anything more.

Wanted to touch it, with no means to harm,
It came there as if only to be in his palm.
The tenderness in the touch , made him feel numb.
Wondering, can something be so beautiful yet so dumb.

World was a beautiful place,
All lightened up paths.
Everything sorted out,
No ambitions but no confusions either.
Light was the best thing that could ever happen to him,
It was perfect,
just by his side,
Small and dim.

A gale of darkness,
And it was all gone.
A moment of happiness,
And he was all alone.

It flew away farther and farther,
And vanished from the way.
Went away too far to be seen,
Or got one with the light somewhere very far away.

The tunnel of darkness with no light at the end,
His life has no dimension with no purposeful intend.
Should be happy or sad to know that light exist.
Moving around not sure if he should rather stay,
Don't know where to reach but it is somewhere away.
