A Starry Night
It was the night of 9th of July.I had been upto lot of work today, and as it is always with work, it is sure to give a good night sleep.However tonight I choose to spend some time up on the terrace, more because the night breeze had been so captivating.
It was striking 8 in the wall clock when I took a cup of coffee and began strolling through the length of the terrace.While watching the silent movements of the shadows beneath, my eyes kept wandering through the blanket of night.I was searching for answers, for the purpose my life has been upto and what I was receiving. It was a lame talk, most of us would reject to this thinking, but then I always gave time to such conversations with myself. It made me feel my presence.
My eyes hovered for a moment on a waving shadow of the leaves of a tree nearby, the one I had planted years ago, and then as if someone called my name, with a swift glance I focussed my eyes towards the dark horizon.There was nothing visible but then there was so much to see.The stars glimmering in the shadow of the night called my name in silence. I was sure they meant me and not someone else. How this happened, is something my mind didn't wanted to think and so I didn't asked it to.
As flashes of my life kept coming over, my mind went for a desire to relax. And I let go my mind to think beyond the daily chores. It was a glide through thoughts, through desires. I had wanted so much from my life and there were times life had given me beyond my expectations. But this was all I had. The someone within was eager to let grow on me, and move ahead. I didn't wanted to. It always seems easier to cling to the happy moments. But time can't be held in hands. It will slide down as sand, leaving a faint shimmer on the hands.
And so was tonight. Having been together with myself after a long time was soothing but the time never lasted much.My mother had given me a call downstairs. And as I bid goodbye to the stars above, I promised them a million other desires to share the next time when we shall meet.
