Mystery

I swear I was awake all the time
but before I knew what was going on,
I felt a warm and cozy feeling in my chest
the warmth glowed like a firefly
faithfully staying alight as the dusk falls
I stretched my hand to grasp it
but it slipped through my fingers
dissolving into its respite, the darkness
silence filled the night
as I waited.
