The Night Sky

The night sky is an absolute delight.Looking up at the stars,the moon,the clouds spreading out like waves,I feel as if they are all alive.The stars seem to be talking to each other,or are all of them quietly admiring the beauty of the moon?

The moon peeps through the clouds,spreads its tranquil light.I can go on staring at it.The pale yellowish glow,the soft moonlight feels like a soothing hand on my shoulder.

But the beauty is not just because of the moon.The night sky would be incomplete without the stars.

Is that a stream flowing through the heavens? A sparkling stream.The millions of stars up there,are like the innumerable droplets of water that make up the stream.They are the life of the stream.They give it a direction,a purpose.But what is the destination of this starry stream? Where does it originate? What is its purpose? Is it trying to help us forget our worries,carrying us along in its flow, drowning us completely in its beauty?

I don't know.But then,do the answers matter at all?

@ abhinav
ahem... "psycho-writer"? where did that come frm? forget that, look at the prev posts - notice a radical change of perspective?

dunno abt you, but i dont just wake up one fine day, and try dissing every1 around, or write abt the flowers on the garden behind my hostel... atleast, that is not until some EVENT occurs, which influences the post. i do this radical-change-thing when im sick-bored, so thats just what i said...
