Stars in you

Standing under the moonlit sky
thinking of reasons aplenty.
Beneath the twinkling stars
dancing to the waves of melodies.

A twinkle here.
A twinkle there.
Sitting under the clear night skies
I wondered
I wondered if I can float up
and gently touch them
and sit next to them.

One by one
coming out of darkness
Slowly shining its way into the dark skies
with it's twinkle.

I couldn't help but draw a parallel
how each one of us are stars ourselves
in this vast ocean of life.

Unknown and unseen
We hide behind the hazy bright clouds of life
constantly trying
to sparkle and shine

Acrosss the huge expanse of night sky,
each star tries to outshine the others.
Each star tries to twinkle its way to glory
a glory that lasts only for a second.

But when the night comes to an end
We are outshined by the powerful sun
in a huge glare
we end up
as a mere dot in canvas.

Find the star inside you
Twinkle in the night sky
Don't worry about lighting up the entire world

Don't worry about twinkling your way to glory
may be you cannot be the mighty Sun.
For when the day dawns only He rules the world.

But you are a star.
A star to someone in this world!
A star with the power to
put a twinkle in
someone else life
somewhere....

Some of the lines are from a poem I read some time back...
