The lost stars....

Staring at the stars, shivering in a cold night a ten years old girl thought, wouldn't this stars, the moon feel cold?

She felt all the stars staring at her but didn't feel uncomfortable like when people stare at her. They might be moving up in infinity but down here they look still and steady. How do the birds, animals find their home in the darkness? Stars help them find their way by lighting their path in the darkness. By thinking of it she thought, is it true that people leave us in darkness? Even our own shadow leaves us in darkness. Does that mean darkness is the symbol of dreadful? How navigators in olden days used to use stars as their path, how did they trust them? So many questions yet no answers. Her mother's words came across her mind. The loved ones when they die they go up in the sky to become a star. She immediately starts finding a star which is her mother. Her mother taught her this before dying from cancer but failed to teach her how to find her in this infinite looking black sky with number of stars in them.
