A Star for the Living

Just came back from a funeral.
Mood’s low.
Heavy.
Still.

I found myself back on that chair —
the one at the balcony I always go to
when I need to feel something real.

I looked up.
The sky was quiet.
Except for one star, blinking at me
like it knew something I didn’t.

In life, people come and go.
They arrive like whispers
and leave like echoes.

And suddenly, I started wondering —
How long will I be here?
How much more time do I have in this world?

We never know.
But tonight,
I’m still here.
Breathing.
Thinking.
Feeling.

A peaceful night,
for someone still alive.
And somehow,
that feels like enough.
