A Starry Night.



Have you ever seen a starry night.City dwellers do not often get to see them, unless one chooses to sit in a balcony at night without lights and look up at the sky.Lovely to say the least.I prefer going to the top of the building and sitting there watching the stillness around with only the stars for company.

I remember the days I sit on the starcase too and looking at the sky without having the staircase light on.My son will be sitting on the second step and we will be talking, me just rumpling his head.Lovely companionshop, and so cosy a friendship between mother and son.

A starry night induces in us a sense of wonder at this universe and one does feel aloof though has an umblical chord running, connecting us with this world.

I miss those nights and the nights does beckon me to be with my son, away amongst those stars perhaps?

Jayamala.
