Starlight

Many days are long forgotten, like ripples in a stream; they move slowly outwards but then disappear almost instantly leaving no trace. Each day ends the same; the sun rises and sets, like a sudden light being switched off. The sun has gone somewhere else, gracefully shining its rays of light that awakes all life, but in other parts darkness has fallen. Still light persists even in this land of darkness, it covers the dark veil in bright spots, creating a polka-dot pattern; the stars and moon have come out. They bathe the land in dim light creating a gentle sense of being held in motherly arms; loneliness cannot take hold of any soul that breathes. Many peer at the sky but wonder is always spoilt by logic and reality; nonsense is thus trapped within, along with childhood imagination. Starlight, one of the wonders of creation that beholds many secrets that remain tightly grasped by the hands of nature.
