This Week's Riddle
 
A Cloud Kingdom Classic Riddle
 
From The Grande Temple of Jing
A firefly I cannot catch
no matter what I try
He flickers soft and silent,
above me in the sky.
Mighty storms cause him no grief,
above them he abides
Yet now and then behind the moon
this firefly will hide.
(answer is one word)
