A Song In The Stars By Asudemade Habeebullah

25/12/2017

5 Comments

 
There is a song in the stars, a lullaby for pains
Lulling away misery, when we lay underneath
There is a song in the stars, a soothing balm
Telling tales the moonlight knows nothing of
That there is a tomorrow, a relief to our sorrows
There's a song in the stars, a light in the night
A power holding company for the powerless
A song in the stars, a relief to our scars.

This is beautiful and melancholy at the same time. Stars sing hope, there is a tomorrow.

I love looking at the stars. The way they dot the night sky is always a thing of beauty. This piece is wonderful, reminding us that to see stars, we must first encounter darkness. But if we keep our eyes on those stars, daylight will surelu come.
