A Droplet of Light

A tiny glow caught my eye... resting quietly upon the bedside table. I took slow, careful steps across the blanket and peeked over the edge. A smooth glass bead was sitting there... holding a little amber spark from the lamp. I reached out one paw, nudging it ever so gently. It rolled just an inch... leaving a soft ring of golden light across the dark wood. I leaned close against the cool surface... marveling at how still and bright it stayed.
