A Bright Glow In The Sky

This isn't a lonely night, 

As the stars shine bright;

My mind in a lazy drift, 

Ponders for a while. 

The stars as the tales say, 

We' ll become one day! 

Like a star that twinkles;

Or that dwindles far away? 

Life, after all, is not too long, 

To spend away like a moron, 

As the flock of sheep trots, 

A man need not carry on. 

Life is an engaging book, 

Savor its every nook, 

It can be read by a blind, 

By not the blind who whine.  

I reminisce all the nooks now, 

I had read with a frowned brow, 

It may not still be too late;

To pave a greater fate. 

For he who turned his back, 

Knocked me with a smack;

Yet, opened my doors anew, 

For realizations new. 

For he who looked me down, 

Said, I don't deserve the crown, 

Helped me conquer my vices, 

And welcome new surprises!

For he who left my heart to bleed,

Throwing me on my knees;

Beckoned me to grow in resilience, 

Hold my esteem in significance. 

For he who played his sly deed, 

Smiled in triumph and greed, 

Preached me to be wise - 

Yet not to beguile. 

For all who did me wrong, 

Helped me grow strong, 

Each time I healed, 

I rose to flourish. 

Why do I need resentment? 

Be swathed in embitterment? 

It's for them I know, 

One day I 'd glow; 

As a star, I'd light, 

The earth at night.
