Illumination

The Sun sank somewhere in the sky. I opened my eyes to the darkness of the night.The coolness of the wind was subduing the dryness of my body. The current of the "kick" had not left me and I was happy about that. The destination was far ahead, the journey was peaceful.

Suddenly I saw a small flash zooping by my window. I gave it the frame of my "high" thought. But it happened again and again. It seemed to me as if my cab was running against several illuminating bulb arrows of an archer!!! Everything was dark, back and ahead of us( headlights restricted there beam to an extent). Then it happened again. This time i peeped out form the window and looked back, and i was zapped by the view. I asked driver to halt the car and prayed to freeze the world so i could look at the unmatched beauty. I felt as if i was possessed by a forest nymph. And this is what i saw. There were tiny little fireflies spread all over the dark field. For a moment i thought i was in the magic land of the elves. I could figure out that the fields were freshly ploughed for irrigating potatoes. And then there were trees who've been fixed there for ages. The bloom in the buds of trees was evident form the fragrance in the air. It was like an ethereal scent meant for Gods, and i was intoxicated by its aroma!!! It just added fuel to the fire of my elevated thoughts. The fireflies were like these small twinkling angels sent by Gods to beautify His path to us or vice versa. I saw a mango tree which was decorated with the illuminating bulbs. For a moment i thought that the tree is singing lullaby to them and these angels were holding up in air in sleep. The thought shifted to Diwali's decorated feast. I was happy there. Peaceful in such a bliss place.

I looked up & saw million stars staring at me. I told them that my 1st thought was the best one. It's God's secret path to Heaven and somehow i coordinated there. There were millions of fireflies elucidating near me in the field and trees. The fragrance was getting stronger as the time was passing by to greet the Gods. I thought is He gonna pass by me??? It filled ma veins with a chill of thrill. And then, the cool breeze passed through my hair whispering something. The soft voice near my face was singing and its alacrity could be felt all around me. He was there, i knew. Yet i saw no one, just the celestial beauty. The mosaic was still the same. Suddenly, my thoughts were shaken by the driver who was calling me back for our journey ahead. I turned around and sat in the car. I tried to recollect what i saw and what i thought. But i couldn't trace what was it( you know why!!!). The only thing i could remember was i saw God!!! Yes, i did... I saw God in NATURE.....
