Lone Performer
Have you seen those lights, the ones that dance through the nights atop hotels and buildings? Lighting “Honeymoon Inn” in all its red and white glory, lined with green. Running from the top and shying away at the bottom and then all of a sudden emanating from the centre as if an elf threw an invisible stone at the heart of the billboard.
As the sun prepares to sleep, the curtain rises for the extravagent performance that will continue all through the night. A performance that will light up the whole world with colours. A performance that will continue night after night after night, till the performer, the artist breathes its last. A performance that will be witnessed by none other than the deafening silence of the night. A performance that will be performed each night without delay without an audience or an applause…
You must have seen the lights, haven’t you?

Wow, you’ve described the artist of night so beautifully..
The artist that has identity till the time it is on stage, after that their is another life!

A post after such a long time and that too beautifully composed…
The irony is – These lights carry so much darkness behind them…loneliness, unimportance and downtroddenness…
