The Midnight Sun
The rain beat hard that night and I made every effort to cling myself to my bed for comfort. I opened my bedroom window to see its progress. It was dark and chilly, I wore my jacket. Still, the cold seeped into my skin, drenching it with moist air. And then it happened. The shimmers of the rain softened and the clouds parted to reveal the moon…
Wait a minute… It is not the moon; it is the sun that welcomed my eyes with its blinding light. It was a shock for me because it was still in the middle of the night. How come the sun arrived 6 hours earlier. I asked my self the same question, but no straight answer came to mind. I was baffled and confused. Was this one of nature weird and mad occurrences.
I noticed that I was happy that night. Despite the fact that it rained earlier. And when I became happier the ‘midnight’ sun’s light became brighter. It lifted my soul, confused I may be. It enlightened my mind… yes it really enlightened my mind, literally and figuratively.
Then, it struck me as honed by my enlightenment. It was not the sun after all as I thought it. But the moon. The moon that I always see at night. Only it shined the brighter today for it reflects the pure light of happiness that was emanating from deep within me…

i woke up today late.. i expect for the sun to shine.. but instead of the bright sun, the gloomy atmosphere greeted me.. rain fell as my tears did.. the cold wind covered me..my body longed for the warmth of a hug…my heart longed for the warmth of love..
i called.. i shouted.. i even screamed.. many came.. but the one i longed to see never came..
they answered my call.. they hugged me.. they loved me.. but my heart still longs for the love that no one can give except ***…
[hmm, i can't reveal the name!]
