He knew not what to do or where to from here as he trembled back to his arm chair. Everything he thought there was for him are no longer his and now all hopes were lost.
He gazed into the dark night sky where tiny little dots glimmered and glittered here and there. His eyes fixed on a single little star who shone brighter than his celestial friends.
Long ago have he heard that the stars we see today are just the light emitted by them thousands of years ago from millions of kilometers away. The actual star may have moved away or not even exist today. Just a shadow of itself.
His mind kept wandering in that small thought, how much would have that tiny dot, we call as a star must have burned to produce this light that have travelled from places farther than he could imagine and yet here it is staring down at him wondering what these puny little humans are thinking about.
There was a sudden joy in him, not every hope were lost. He may not be or have anything today, but not everyday is going to be like today. If he could burn like a star, one day may be not today or tomorrow but eventually he would shine like the star. The ones who deemed him worthless shall look up to him and dance in his light.
The dreams and thoughts kept running through his mind and slowly he drifted of to his sleep. What a wonderful world.
