the stars in the lover’s arms

30.12.25

S: The veil of the night parted and I saw the stars denuded. They were the jewels of the sky, exquisite in their craftsmanship and their allure.

A: The lover beside you, did the lover sigh?

S: I felt the closeness of the lover, their warmth.

A: And did you feel the closeness of the stars?

S: I felt their light growing in my heart, their beauty in my mind.

A: Did you feel the universe entire?

S: I felt the fire of the stars. I felt total connection to all that there is. I felt the belonging of the fire and the acceptance of the fire.

A: The star is fire far away.

S: It is not true. The star is in my grasp. The fire filled me as I breathed in the cold, crisp air. My lover is the star. The star is my lover.

A: A moment to treasure?

S: An eternity lived in a moment.

A: I wish that you may look into the star again.

S: I hope the night falls and the Diwali of heaven comes again.
