What if?

What if, there were no animals to compare humans to.

Swift as a deer,  strength of an ox, wise as owl, heart of a lion, coward-chicken, cunning-fox, curiosity-cat, pride-peacock,  and so on...Why does it have to be compared with animals to tell what human beings are. Can´t a person be just brave or wise or beautiful for who they are?

On second thought, who have actually concluded that deer is the swiftest animal in the animal kingdom, or ox the strongest. There are other animals more swift and stronger than these animals right?

Or does it mean that every individual has an animal instinct or a character?

I sometimes wonder if there were no basis for comparision then, what would people be compared to. To nature? Nah...there is this evergreen thing again!

What if...what if...what if...

MY LIL´ STAR

In the midst of dark moonless night, like a whole new being came a
small star twinkling from the other world whose existence I knew not. As I lay down in my own small room, staring and thinking of nothingness, little did to my knowledge did it shine that, the little star shone brightly with each passing day, getting bigger than yesterday.

Little star´s being upon was better than being of the moon itself.

Least did it matter to me how brightly the other stars shone that had
 appeared along with the moon since I know my lil´ star was the only
one during that moonless night.
Being the brightest and the biggest star was of least concern to me as
long as I could see it twinkling every night, just for me.

I was connecting to my lil´ star who knew not its value. Gradually but
 strongly did I relate to it to the extent that, anyone noticing my
 my lil´ star- may heaven have mercy on those poor soul, for I Could have blinded them.

Slowly did it dawn upon me that my lil´ star was also a moon just far
 away...

IF BEING FAR AWAY MAKES YOU MY LIL´STAR THEN SO YOU BE, BECAUSE COMING CLOSER AND BECOMING A MOON IS NOT WHAT I WANT, FOR MOON DISAPPEARS GIVING WAY TO MOONLESS NIGHT. JUST BE MY LIL STAR FOREVER, TWINKLING, EVEN IN THE DARKEST NIGHT!*
