The lanterns are lit over Sahityika. Something stirs between the pages tonight, so read by candlelight, and never read alone.

Oh to lie under this sky and do nothing

Oh to lie under this sky and do nothing

Turn up your brightness, let the stars come through, there's a little piece of the universe waiting for you. Some of the light that finds me here Set sail through time untold, Across the dark, through distant years, Through nights both still and old. Long before my dreams took flight, Before my days had come to be, These stars had crossed the endless night, To shine, perhaps, for eyes like me. I wonder if they ever know, How dearly they are loved below; For though they dwell beyond our skies, They make the darkest heavens glow. And if such ancient light can find Its way through all eternity, What greater love could one hope to find, Than stars that shine for you and me? To cross the dark, through endless night, And reach a heart with borrowed light.. Oh, tell me, is that not romance? How romantic is that?
