He... he who?

An old painting, actually a framed photograph that has been in our house since I can remember has ' He comes like the morning star , full of glory, splendor and love' printed on it. Its the picture of the sky, clouds and probably a sunrise .. I really cannot tell...and I have always wondered who this person is ? Who is this guy and why is he so important and what is the purpose of describing him in an abstract photograph...Is he a regular guy in regular clothes or is he the kind who wears blue tights and red chaddis :) . Would you recognize him on the streets , have you travelled with him on the same bus while he is having a nap by the window after a long day at work in a software company named yahoo or google or is he an aspiring actor who is taking a bus to rehearsals. Does he have a car??? He does not look like a person who thinks a car is a necessity in life.He probably has more important things on his mind.

Is he the guy who wants to check you out at a restaurant and is too shy to make the move so he decides to be a complete gentleman in his own world. Is he the guy who looks like a famous character on a regular soap on a regional TV show. HAve you spoken to him ? Have you heard his voice?? Is it deep and does it have a bass effect on your brain?

I wonder if he is the kind of guy who would talk to strangers and listen to their life history even if he or she is just renting choolas to freezing tourists on a mountain or is an auto driver driving you to your destination on a rainy day.

Is he a person who would  be able to hitch a ride just by flashing a smile of familiarity. Is he the boy next door, a gujrathi to a gujrathi or a kannadiga to a kannadiga  or just a person who you think you have known for a while even on your first rendezvous. 

Does he act cranky or does he have wings... wait a minute may be he is a bird watcher .. He can identify most birds like the bee creeper, honey eater or yellow breasted brown cuckoo or get away with fake names as the birds actually do not care what you call them.   Does he want to shoot birds??? with a camera ofcourse... or does he aspire to be a war photographer ?? I hope not .. I am sure he did at some point of time ...

Is he a dream ? Can you see him from where you live ? On this planet from your home caged by gravity? Does he have eyes like the sea  and do you see your dreams sail in them?

Do you know the contours of his face , of his back and of his fingers that have years of music etched on them ... Is he a friend , has he fallen in love... Is he the morning star? The splendor of his emotions , his smile ....:)
