A Firefly, one of the minutest insects<\/p>\n
If not for its light, Never! would you even notice its existence<\/p>\n
Similar to wasps, sans the light.<\/p>\n
Mesmerizing to look at, especially after a bout of rainshower<\/p>\n
Twinkling, lighting the dusk, the surroundings<\/p>\n
Miniature lamps in the dark.<\/p>\n
A puzzle actually, on where it gets its power to produce light<\/p>\n
What’s the alluring light life span?<\/p>\n
And not able to contain the enigma of the firefly<\/p>\n
In an unprecedented fashion,<\/p>\n
Trapped a lone Firefly to satisfy the curiosity.<\/p>\n
But alas! Instead of discovering the undiscovered<\/p>\n
The Firefly’s light started to flicker, diminishing the intensity<\/p>\n
In a dying way, and with it its life was unceremoniously extinguished<\/p>\n
Too much inquisitiveness not only kills the cat but also the poor Firefly.<\/p>\n
Google was not consulted, various reading materials were of no help<\/p>\n
and no efforts to asked around.<\/p>\n
The only thing left is the lonely jar<\/p>\n
where the Firefly perished, empty, dark and forlorn.<\/p>\n
No amount of “I should have nots…” will bring back the life<\/p>\n
of the poor Light Giver<\/p>\n
No amount of guilt will justify the wrong deed<\/p>\n
For the killer, the consequence of the act will be ignored<\/p>\n
His world will continue to spin and he’s still in it.<\/p>\n
But for the Firefly’s comrades, a grave loss<\/p>\n
A mournful time, a pity<\/p>\n
It should not have happened at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
