Fireflies Poem by Preeth Nambiar

Opening my eyes towards the darkness of the early morning hours a firefly was dancing around me and I found it approaching me pursuing me towards the door of the bedroom that I never used to close. I raised my eyelids heavy of sleep to see that mesmerising scene- innumerable fireflies blinking its wings across the green around the tiny home of mine! I remained there breathing deep the freshness and fragrance of a night wet of a drizzle!

O dear ones of the Lord, come right unto the opened palms so that I can hug you all with my warmth and kiss you all with my love! Your lights would dissolve in the bright sunshine of the morning, yet will shed light within the heart for a day to cherish it for a lifetime! Show me a path towards the horizon piercing the darkest clouds and lead me to where my Lord wanted me to go. I will follow you without even a tinge of doubt for He is my life's life and I trust His abundant love for me!

Gratitude, my Lord - There are myriad ways You show me your love upon this humble life! Here is a life surrendered unto Your feet!
