Loneliness (I)

The other night,I was sitting on the bench in my Garden.I looked towards the sky..For the last few days,the sky was full of dark clouds.Stars were covered under them.
But there was one star, twinkling alone.
Few days back,he was not alone.He was surrounded by the friends who used to be awake all the night to play with him.But today all of them have gone into hibernation and left him alone to fight with the mighty black demon who every now and then tried to engulf him.But he fought,to make his own identity...
During our childhood,whenever we used to see a single star in the sky, we used to count five Flower names.I don't know from where this superstition came but it was believed that a single star in the sky was a sign of bad omen.If you happened to see it,it would make you lonely too..
Whatever the reason behind this superstition might be, but this is the bitter Truth of this World.The same star,when it is twinkling amongst the others wont be considered as a bad omen.

The game continues between the clouds and the star.The frustration of clouds can easily be heard whenever it looses and the escaping victory of the star is visible in its light.As the night got cold, I rose stiffly to my feet and walked back to my room leaving that star to play hide and seek with the dark clouds and just a hope that someday i would see it again, playing happily with his friend without any fear-The fear to loose its identity, the fear to be mortal..
