Once upon a time, in the sky..

Sometimes, the Universe takes away a few people from our lives for our own good. Unfortunately, not all of us have the strength to understand and believe in his magic. We believe in ourselves or our love for a few people and other materialistic things so much, that we become blind to the Universe's plans. 

One such story is of the Moon who fell in love with a Cloud. 

On a fine rainy morning, the sky looked like a piece of art. The clouds occasionally revealed the beautiful hues of blue in the sky. There was a dark big Cloud with the brightest silver lining which was too heavy and rained on the Earth leaving the sky. It was unable to say goodbye to the Moon, whom it loved with all it ever had. The Moon, unaware of the Cloud's absence, rose that night and was devastated to see that the Cloud was gone. It shone the brightest it could, in anguish.That was a full moon day. 


The moon set in all its sorrow and rose the next night hoping that the cloud would come back but it vain. The Cloud wasn't there. The only wish the Moon made on every shooting star was for the Cloud to come back to sky. A few days later, it was a full Moon day again, which typically is the Moon's big day, but it wasn't. Everybody was waiting for the moon lit night. Maybe 'cause this also happened to be the day when the Moon's wish was finally granted. The cloud had come to see the Moon. 


They spent all night talking. Moon was the happiest and shone brighter than ever but the night still remained dark 'cause the moon was resting in the cloud's embrace. The next night wasn't the best night for the moon either, it did shine like it always does but nobody could see it 'cause it was clouded again. Many nights went by like that. Though the Moon was happy with the Cloud, there was still something missing. Moon wasn't completely happy 'cause it couldn't do what it always did. Shine and enlighten the earth. It sadly set before dawn broke.


The next morning, it rained again and the Cloud was gone. This time, the Moon missed the Cloud but secretly cherished its absence. 'Cause now it could be itself, beautiful, bright and full of light. 




Sometimes, the Universe takes away a few people from our lives for our own good. Let go of those who dim your light. You're meant to glow, don't let anything overshadow your shine.
