Fireflies and Moonlight

The soft wind rustles the trees as the moon rises into the dark sky, sprinkling stars across the velvet canvas. The darkness of night provides a dramatic back drop for the fireflies dancing everywhere, like tiny sparks that have escaped a flickering fire. She feels the warmth of the borrowed light illuminating her shadow on the ground and as she walks alone, the moon pulls her heart to the surface and the tears start welling up in her eyes. They fall out and down her face in a race for freedom, leaving shiny tracks behind.

She looks up at the stars twinkling against the dramatic indigo backdrop of the night sky and hears what seems to be the faint sound of a violin, carried on the night air, splitting the gentle silence as it ebbs and flows in a melancholy melody. And as it fades off into the distance she hears what sounds like a choir of angels singing in the heavens, but maybe it's the wind playing the strings of the few tranquil clouds slowly drifting by the ever watchful moon. She feels a gentle tug on her soul as it's lifted up toward the heavens, and she surrenders completely to this feeling of weightlessness as her mind replays a thousand moments of belonging to Love's fierce caress. She feels a warmth slowly surround her entire being like an angelic embrace, and as she closes her eyes she hears a whisper on the breeze... " You are sent, not because it is easy, but because you are capable. Not because it is traumatic, but because you are resilient. Not because you are vulnerable, but because you are protected. You have been designed for this, so cast Fear and Doubt into the winds of change and embrace your creation. You do not have to be beautiful in the world's eyes to be beautiful in Mine. Your purpose is waiting. The moon will walk you home."

A single white feather floated, twirling and dancing, down from the sky and she smiled as she caught it and put it in her hair.
