Fireflies
The firefly makes itself known for an
instant to those who have eyes. Then in a moment, the
opportunity to see is lost, possibly forever. One never
knows.
How many flashes will present themselves whilst
you yet can see? How many flashes will you notice? How many of
those that are noticed will also find you ready and capable to
seize the beauty of it all?
Love is like that. It appears for a moment.
Then it appears again...or maybe not. Others may tell you what
they saw. What beauty they seized. Though it is like recounting
a delicious feast to another. Salivate as they may, they can
only wait for the next invitation. Or maybe not. One never
knows.
They may become bitter in their waiting or numb
beyond disappointment. Their eyes and hearts closed forever.
Choose to be open and ready for what might appear in a moment.
Then again...maybe not.
Take your chance. Take your chances.
