Once Summer during A Night

 Once Summer during A Night

"In a dreamlike forest alley, white moonlight pours down like liquid silver, torching the path with a mystical glow. Trees twist into impossible shapes—some with glowing leaves, others with eyes that shimmer in the dark. The moon hangs unnaturally close, like a floating oracle, its light bending gravity, making shadows dance upwards. Wisps of luminescent mist curl along the mossy ground, and in the distance, a translucent stag made of stardust steps silently between the forest. 

One scholarly man dressed in a long earthen robe with grayish beard with stick in his hands was heading towards his cottage after a day long work from imparting teaching to his disciples .  Fatigued yet confused still coming up with the answer one of his disciples posed to him.. “ it's hard to keep struggling without hope, and sometimes in darkness we often lose the beacon we're once given. Then how can we continue the journey in dark times without knowing the path and light”. Carelessly his eyes roaming and still wondering he saw a translucent stag standing in front of him.. surprised and awakened he thought he might be imaging things.. yet the translucent image of stag only grew stronger and more brighter.  Only to realise the distance between him and stag were shortened to a few steps. 

The stag's intent gaze shivered the Scholar's heart yet he remained poised and silent. And then in that eerie silence spoke the stag  “ difficulties could be mastered not only with strength but also determination. Quite similarly The beacon of hope will only rekindle with patience. “Good Luck! And then the stag disappeared with a flash of lightning.. the Scholar woken up in all sweat and heart thumbing to an extent it almost felt it will come out, only to realise it was all a dream. 

He drank a glass of water that was on his oak square shaped side table.. when he drank the water and calm his nerves , only then he realised the answer to hid disciple.. hope without patience will only walk A mile but with patience Even a thousand miles will seems a single step. With this smile spread and went back to sleep.
