One quiet evening, Clara lay in her bed, gazing out her window at the velvet sky sprinkled with stars. She felt a little lonely, wishing for someone to talk to.
Suddenly, one star twinkled brighter than the others and seemed to drift closer to her window. Clara blinked in surprise.
“Hello,” the star whispered, its voice soft as a lullaby. “I’m Lyric. Why are you awake?”
Clara sat up, her heart warming at the gentle voice. “I couldn’t sleep. Are you... talking to me?”
Lyric twinkled. “Of course. All stars can whisper, but only those who listen can hear us. Would you like to come on a journey?”
Clara’s eyes widened. “Where would we go?”
“To places where the world dreams,” Lyric replied.
Clara climbed out of bed, and with a whoosh of starlight, she found herself floating beside Lyric in the cool night air. They glided gently over the rooftops until they reached a forest draped in silver moonlight.
The trees swayed slightly, as if sighing in their sleep. “Why are they moving?” Clara asked in a whisper.
“The trees dream of the wind,” Lyric explained. “Even when the night is still, their roots remember the breezes that dance through their branches.”
Clara smiled, feeling the forest’s peace settle into her heart.
Next, Lyric led Clara to a meadow filled with soft, glowing flowers. Fireflies floated lazily above the petals, their tiny lights blinking in rhythm.
“The flowers are glowing!” Clara said, kneeling beside one.
“They bloom with the moonlight,” Lyric explained. “Each flower keeps a tiny piece of moonlight to share with the fireflies, so the meadow always glows, even in the darkest night.”
Clara reached out to touch a petal, feeling its warmth. “It’s like the meadow is alive,” she said, her voice soft with wonder.
Finally, Lyric guided Clara to the edge of a vast ocean, its surface sparkling under the stars. Gentle waves lapped against the shore, singing a quiet lullaby.
“What does the ocean dream about?” Clara asked, dipping her toes in the cool water.
“The stars,” Lyric said simply. “Every wave reaches up to touch the sky, hoping to feel starlight.”
Clara closed her eyes, listening to the waves’ soothing rhythm. She felt the peace of the ocean and the warmth of the stars wrap around her like a blanket.
As the first hints of dawn began to paint the sky, Lyric floated beside Clara. “It’s time to go home,” the star whispered.
With a soft sigh, Clara found herself back in her bed, her window open to the gentle breeze of the waking world.
“Will I see you again?” she asked, her voice drowsy.
Lyric twinkled. “Whenever you listen, I’ll be here.”
Clara smiled as her eyes closed, the magic of the night carrying her into peaceful dreams.
The End.
