Educated Mind...?

I sit here, staring at the night skies…wonder why they are so beautiful, resplendent with overflowing glee…glistening with tiny dots we call stars…stars, the very word throws up a million glittering images, images of broken glass shimmering in the sun… I sit quietly staring, the child in me trying to draw up images by joining the dots together…in vain…cause they already told me of the bear and the turtle…and the dog…and now I see no more… I see the moon, as it smilingly sits in the corner as a king, and overlook their well being, even as it takes rounds of the skies all night…it does not sleep, it observes, and the stars, they giggle and twinkle…the shine of truth and of innocence…what mirth fills the ambiance…what joyous abode is the sky…

I sit till the skies break into a n orange hue, I see the stars slowly fade away…and the moon a silent witness to the scene, till it starts to fade too…the birds are all atwitter, each end has a beginning and they sing to the joys the day brings with itself…dew drops ,fresh breeze and all…as the sky takes on a deeper red tinge and there emerges the horizon…a new day again, beckoning with a newer challenge…calling out to explore…even as we go on ,day on day, running after one such goal…only to see it slip away a wee bit afar…even as we hold out our hand…outstretched…and our fingers almost about to touch it…
