Bioluminescence

by Rialin Yasay

It was a grimy night when the map and compass I was taken away from me. I was lost in the forest. I took a risk to travel.

Out of fear, I covered my face. I was on the verge of despair when something glimmered, drove me to open my eyes.

It was a light posse I didn't anticipate to brighten my way - But was and has always been there to be a rescuer amid gloom.

That forest may be horrifying but it showed me the universe where I can be tranquil and unwavering.
