Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars-Revisited

By Shoumik Das

Twinkle twinkle little stars,

Out away in the distant far;

There's more to them than meets the eye,
Strewn across, like pearls in the sky;

How often have we tried our fate to read?
How often have we sought a shiny bead?

Do stars traverse the lines on our palm?
Do they really work like a healing balm?

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are;

A sight to behold and a moment of bliss;

An inevitable omen or destiny's kiss;

Witness to all that has happened till date,
A beautiful angel and custodian of Fate.
