I
gazed at my love, the night sky, after many years. He was still in his prime
youth, continually transmitting his shine and magnificence everywhere.
I
was in love with the night sky then and was very young and naive. But, he never
reciprocated my love for him.
I
had once set out to know his secrets, to capture him and his emotions. I traveled into the endless realms of Universe. The journey continued for years, but I
couldn’t even be near him.
Today,
my vision is blurred, my ears deafened and I have lost my youth and energy.I
am on my death bed, awaiting for cessation.
Through the open window, I could
see the eternally young and handsome night sky. I closed my eyes, questioning
about my love and life.I
felt being embraced by the vast and handsome night sky.
I
opened my eyes and saw the grieving face of my child over my lifeless body. I
could hear mourning from the people around me.
And
then, I realized, it was the final answer to my ultimate longing to be with
him.
