Stillness

The day has bid farewell, greeted by the twilight. It has been so long since I last saw the stars... I have almost forgotten how the moon looks like...My beloved colleagues in Sudan told me that they could hear gunfire from a close distance. The peoples were shooting at the stars as my colleagues concluded. what a sweet lie to comfort me, I thought. I try to imagine their fear which is laced with hope, hope for better days, for silence, stillness and peace....I wish the wind would whisper my prayers to them.....
