A time to relax
Why do we forget the simple things in life?
Why do we always need to make things so complicated?
I want to go back to the days when things were simple…
Gazing at the stars (24/4/2000)
I was bored,
In a camp,
Full of strangers,
Curfew is at ten.
I sat outside,
Thinking of nothing,
Looking into space,
Staring at the sky.
Someone came at my side,
“Look at the stars,�
She beckoned,
It’s beautiful.
For the first time,
I admired the sky,
The moon was full,
The sky was bejeweled,
By hundreds of tiny diamonds,
Decorating the sky.
That’s Orion’s belt,
Oh, there goes,
A shooting star!
I made a wish.
