Why the Stars Rise At Night

Star is star, only times when it hangs in the skies, once it falls on the ground, it becomes nothing more than a useless piece of stone. Is that why the stars commit themselves to the flames in the dazzling sun when the shadows of darkness lift to dissipate rather than to become stone pieces on the ground and tossed, kicked, and stamped by mindless passersby. Although there will be no feeling of remorse whatsoever held in the mind of stars that were sucked into the heart of a scorching sun, to ones who took pleasure looking at the twinkling stars in the darkened sky will feel an irresistible yearning after the stars inconsiderately disappeared, and so, becoming a piece of drifting cloud, roams in the skies to find those lost stars. Although there will be no grudge of any kind was in the stars’ mind that vanished somewhere in the heart of a burning sun, to those who delighted to converse with whispering constellations in the darkness, will become water by the foot of that mountain and flow in this ravine to that plain, while, wishing to fill the emptiness in heart with beautiful memorabilia as water carries, crushing into immovable rocks, chased by the rolling stones. After all, those notions heaped up high with adding more and more weights, collapses to the ground; then the time, so told by word of mouth that it swallows everything, comes and rakes up shattered pieces of notions on the ground and lifts up high in the air flapping its dark and huge wings. Accordingly, darkness grows to bring another night… As time goes by, and when the skies deepened with darkness, the stars that are lost and gone from the heart of those who wanted to keep them forever, return and twinkle as they were in the skies that are much the same as last night.
