The Illuminator

“Stars are the lights that gleam and sparkle at night to brighten up one’s inky way,” MauMau.

I was once a sun that glistens and radiates on my own blaze yet vanishes it’s glare when my marriage failed and our vows were shattered, I was locked up in bleakness and sorrow in order for me to escape from that cloudy ward and be able to keep going in life, though it’s too hard to be away from my son and I am not clear of what course I will be walking in to I chose to fly here in Hong Kong hoping to glimpse a little spark or can spot a glitter. Lucky enough embraced by a nice family and met new affiliates that helped me to regain pinch by pinch the glare that I have lost and at present I could confidently say that I am the sun who also shares my radiance to my family, friends and others who are in need of torch also supporting, guiding and helping them to be a stars that will twinkle and glow profoundly at sundown on their own flame. So thankful for Hong Kong because it became the prism where I reclaim the hues of my flame.
