Dusk quietly gathers outside my window...it's slow subtle steps inch snail-like towards the darkness. I can see the skies painted a shade of pale yellow with streaks of crimson and grey, there are clouds high up which may bring rain at night. Has been a hot day, so typically May and its just the first day of the month. A gently breeze blows rustling the leaves on the mango tree just across from where I sit, can see the ripening mangoes rocking in their golden redness, looking splendid and so tempting.
Can hear the cacophony of birds returning to their nests.. their day is done, unlike us, they do not have the luxury of a holiday, every day is a working day. Wonder if they know what holiday's are all about.. but perhaps they enjoy their work and day much more than what we do. I always feel animals and birds live more in the present, for they do not care to think or hoard for the future like humans. Blissful life really...today I cannot see the evening star, perhaps the clouds cover it. When I was a child I would be told to make a wish moment the evening star was out, there were a few lines which was prayer like, I would need to recite it, but I have long since forgotten it, much like I no longer wish when I see the evening star. Just today, I feel like composing the lines.. my own for the evening star:
Star light, star bright.. I wish I may, I wish I might,
Fulfill my desires prayed for.. be it day or at night
Moon light, moon bright.. I wish I could, I wish I may,
Be happy always and spread joy.. in life's glorious way,
Lord of the Heavens... angels & fairies heed my prayerful call,
Send me goodness, bless my home...and may I do good to all.
May the days ahead.. bring forth the best to all the denizens of this nation - usher in lasting peace, health and prosperity and propel us forward into a bright and glorious future.
