Stars From the Ground

     

     Ever since I was a child, I was enthralled with sky lanterns. They are really beautiful especially when they are in flying in a starless night sky. I honestly don't know what they're for but according to my research (thanks Wiki), they're used during festivities, especially during Chinese festivities. They were also used as a tool to send signals during the war. And you can wish on them also. Nonetheless, it doesn't really matter to the purpose of these candles of the sky. Whether it's a festive decoration or a messaging signal or a wishing thing, so be it. All that matters to me is that when I lay my eyes on them, it makes me feel like flying--as if I could reach for the skies. They're really beautiful, majestic, wonderful, magical... And I wish that one day, I would be able to release a sky lantern myself and witness these stars from the ground fly and disappear into the night sky.
