The lands of the South were filled with rolling hills and trees and rich green
grass.
Night Child climbed to the highest hill and from there he could see Wink Star
lying on the grass below a huge tree.
And Night Child ran to where Wink Star lay.
Wink Star! shouted Night Child happily, as he reached the huge tree.
And Wink Star called out gently: Dearest Night Child…Dearest Child…I have
been waiting for you…
And Wink Star knelt on the grass before Wink Star.
Wink Star lay on the grass with his head on the soft roots of the giant tree.
Night Child, whispered Wink Star again.
And Night Child cried: What’s happening to you, Wink Star? You’re not glowing
bright and steady like before. You are red and your light seems to be fading.
What’s happening to you?
And Wink star smiled and he said: Do not worry, Night Child. I’m just
changing – I’m changing into Bright Star and I will go to another sky where
I will shine in the north and the children of the Earth will look at me
and will be glad. I’m just changing and going to another universe.
But…but…but…cried Night Child. The children of the People of Star Eyes
need you. I need you – we need Wink Star.
And Wink Star smiled and he said: But, Night Child…my dearest
Night Child – you are Wink star.
I don’t understand, said Night Child.
Wink Star smiled as his color changed to a pure bright blue.
Listen carefully, said Wink Star. As I go into the universe where the Earth is,
as I go there to the north to become a bright constant star to bring joy
and happiness to the children of the earth – you too will change…You too
will change and you will become the Wink Star – and you will go to
the universe where your people are – and all the children of
the People of Star Eyes will see you, and they will be happy and they
will call you Wink Star, and they will love you, and they will be jubilant
and all the children will sing the same song you sang when you
saw me glowing in the sky…I will go now, Night Child – and you will go
to the skies in your universe, for you are Wink Star…And one day,
you too will come to the South and another Night Child will come
in search of you, and you will become another radiant star and the
child will be the Wink Star….and so this will be always…for this has been
the way since the beginning of Star Time…
And Night Child leaned forward and he kissed Wink Star on his forehead…
And Wink Star became a deep amber and the light spread out all round
the huge tree and then Wink Star became a golden light and
the light disappeared…
And a change came over Night Child too…Night Child became a
light of radiant silver…And Night Child ascended the skies and he
became the Wink Star…
And up there in that universe, even today, Wink Star glows and Smiles
at all the universe where he is…
And there all the children of the People of Star Eyes see him and
they are happy, and they wave to Wink Star and they all sleep on little flowers
and they, like Night Child used to, they all gaze lovingly at Wink Star, and
they sing the song their mothers teach them, the same song that
Night Child’s mother taught him:
Wink Star
Always bright;
Twinkle Star
Light my nights;
Wink Star
A child
Just like me;
Love Star
Deep in my eyes;
Shining Joy
Always glow in my heart
Wink Star
Always bright;
Twinkle Star
Light my nights
And you too, gentle ones, you too, lying gently on the flowers in the garden, you too may look up at Wink Star, and you too may happily sing this joyous song of Wink Star….

Personally I prefer that Baby Padmaja we all saw..and I miss that...that image in every comment section of this series added a new dimension to the series and it's like something's missing now...
.....
But ah, I must make a mental shift towards the abstract as Wink Star Padmaja takes on another avatar
On the right is Padmaja flying through our grand cosmos: *

The profile pic is being changed reflecting my thoughts that change from time to time - Am I a black dot in the white space of purity? Am I not a mere speck in this grand cosmos? :)))

Bhavana - thanks; and I'm so glad you and Meerajay enjoyed the story beacuse the two of you are such happy people in my mind (hee....heee.... - no, It's so difficult to imitate the way you and Meerajay laugh online!) that it means that the story is happy as I intended it....
Thank you.

Thanks, Raja
The story presented itself as a happy tale and meant for children of all ages from 1 to 200! - and I'm glad you liked it.
I did not put in any deliberate symbolsim or depth or philosophy - but it's inveitable the
writier's subconsious may implant certain ideas and the reader's background may reveal certain aspects in the work, intended or unintended...
Thanks again.
