A light in the dark...
The sky was grey, and the wind was strong.
A thunderstorm looked inevitable.
A little boy was lost.
The place looked foreign, and he lost track of the firefly that brought him here.
There was no sign and no one in sight. His curiosity had brought him into trouble.
Tick tock, tick tock...
Time was ticking away and rain was falling.
The little boy had to find a shelter quick.
After surveying the area for a while, he went to hide under an old broken bridge. That was the best he could find.
He clamped his hands and said a little prayer, hoping to receive some help from somewhere soon.
However, his prayers were unanswered as the rain only got heavier.
His clothes were soaking wet. The bridge wasn't able to provide him with adequate shelter.
Time past slowly and minutes felt like hours.
The cold wind had sapped away his warmth, draining every bit of energy from his small shivering body.
The little boy felt weak and he thought he was going to lose consciousness.
It seemed like the cold, cruel world was about to forsake him.
Or maybe not...
The little boy saw a figure approaching from a distance.
He wasn't sure if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
As the figure advanced closer, he began to make out what it was, from the minimum light that was available.
That was a little girl holding an umbrella.
She smiled at him and stretched out her hand to him.
At that moment, the little boy thought he saw an angel.
He freezed immediately. He wasn't sure, and he couldn't hide his excitement.
He held her hands and got up to his feet.
Her smile breathed life to him and her touch warmth his heart. If only this moment could last forever.
He didn't know what was installed for him. However, he would gladly go where that angel would bring him...
To a place call heaven.
'Cause she's so high, high above me, she's so lovely. She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite. She's so high, high above me... (quoted from the song She's so high by Tal Bachman)
