the sky

as per usual...there will be nights that its cloudy and you see nothing.
but more so than that..there will always be the stars there waiting to see
you once again, day after day, no matter how cloudy or how much it rained.
these stars can be...your guiding posts...they may also be there, just for
you, for the sake of being there because they're your star.

and ever so often...you might notice a small streak of light that enters
the sky. a meteor. and just as fast as it entered, it leaves. and that
small fraction of a moment, that it's there in the sky...it is an exciting
thing. and when its gone, you long to find another meteor. but its hard
isnt it? so you keep yourself busy with the great stars you have night
after night.

its like..1.26 am, and i should be sleeping. after studying, and having a
nerve wracking exam(which i think, i might fail T__T)..i'm really really
tired. but i caught news of the leonid meteor shower and i thought i'd
stay up to try and catch it, just cos. and while i was lying on the table
outside(dont ask me why i used the table lol)...i thought of this
metaphorical way to describe your life.

i hope the dreamy nature of the metaphor catches on to you, whoever it is
that's reading, and know that...come rain or clear skies, your stars
(friends and family) will always be there for you. and may you find that
shimmering meteor, which we humans dub love, that shall brighten your
life..no matter what brief moment it was there. should you be lucky
enough, that meteor may be a meteorite, which after giving you a beautiful
light, shall grace your earth with its presence through entirety.

finality can be so dreamy, and yet it can be scary. its just proof in my
belief of the duality of things. and i shall go back to trying to catch a
glimpse of the meteor showers again, while waiting for my next meteor to
shoot through my life.
