In The Urban Open Space 2
Some flew away, may be they lost the hope that my eyes do not focus... May be they felt that I don't have the sight they want me to see....AHH why do you all leaving.... Stay few more time.... Don't lose hope and don't let me feel the anxiety... Now I looked around... Some are still there fixed to some leaves and blinking.... They have hope.... Yeah they have hope... They know they can only blink till I can see.... I wanna see.... They want me to come again and again till I can see.... But could I see????.... I'm fixed with my gaze to their light and they want me to put focus on that, for which they are blinking their light...
I stepped back few steps. Then I looked up to the sky. Now it's more dark. the blue sky has lost it's colour to the darkness. The moon is smiling or it's just there fighting to perish the darkness. I again saw the only star, twinkling. The dark clouds didn't dare to rover over it. It's the dhruba Tara, pointing to the North. It's fixed but directional and guiding the absolute direction. I am seeing a moving blinking light. It's moving away and transmitting the roar penetrated through the clouds... Coloured light, catching my sight.... I was wondering... For few seconds, to escape this lonely place I followed it. A light I'm following but it's moving away.... I realised it's not the light which is giving me direction to move.... I stopped there... Let it go.... I looked around again. The trees visible like Shadows, the tall tall apartment towers, the blinking light on the network towers, the darkness inside the bushes, the fireflies, the moon, the dhruba Tara..... I listened again the creeping sounds, the sounds of automotives, the sound of silence and the out burst from with in.....
