Staring at the blinking night sky, I wonder why people always look up to search for hopes. Why must wishes be kept in clandestine by the silence of our voice and why do we close our eyes whenever a wish is about to be born?
Maybe stars represent hopes because at lowest height, our souls would like to be delighted by the idea that an escape exists, that beyond those shining stars is another world, where perfection can be found, that whatever happened will emerge into oblivion if we stare long enough at the shimmering lights their magic will manifest and beams us into the land of gaieties.
That’s it.
Hope is fueled by the fantasy of extrication. Closed eyes against the present, heart and mind directed toward the universe’s center, we whisper to the night our desire to be liberated from another tomorrow.
Always keep my head up, for the twinkling lights will lead me to meet the corner with betterment.
