cloaked in a sky full of stars...

Saw the stars in the sky last night… away from bombay and my life… away from all the clouds of judgement… there was clarity… along with a lot of wine swishing inside me : ) the one candle burning between us… the songs we wanted to sing but hid within… the chatter and laughter coming so easy… I stared up… singing to myself… clinging onto me… protecting myself from all that I could and couldn’t see among the stars… scared of what they held… wondering if there was one that determined my path and would lead me to safety…
Wondered again who else was looking at the same sky and wondering the same… united in our uncertainty and belief… blinded by tears that I hid behind bad singing… resting my head on a shoulder… its nice sometimes to wonder about things that you have no control over… this sense that I can drive myself crazy but the stars won’t speak.. and as I stared harder, they grew clearer… and I did not want to shut my eyes.. did not want this sight to leave me…
A special night with special people… just plain genuine friendship… just plain human… was this how it was long long ago… sitting around a fire… staring at the sky after a hard day… exhausted but just so alive to the moment and those in that moment… just us… being us…
Another moment gets etched into my memory… thank you : )
