So many times she would walk by that jar
The one they kept hidden, near the trees
And though they told her never to touch it
She did exactly what wasn’t meant to be
Quickly, gathering the jar, in her hands
She ran off, beyond her home and her kin
Sitting down, for just for a mere moment
Mesmerized by the light, emanating within
Curiosity, got the better of her, poor girl
Needing to know, if the fire would grow
Opening the lid, without warning, it flew
Escaping in the forest, as fast as it could go
A look of surprise came across her face
When she realized what she had done
The light of day, suddenly began to glow
From a jar, in the forest, of the rising sun
January Writing Prompt – She did exactly what she was told never to do – Day 27/31
