When imagination finds the right words, magic is bound to happen. Looking at the clear night sky, she used to wonder, "Who is to say they're not winking at us?" Yes, she was positive that if she said this out loud people would call her a weirdo but that didn't matter 'cause in her opinion being normal was way too overrated. So one fine night she wished to play in a field of her own choice, paradise she would call it.
Poetry was never her forte, but as they say there's always a first time to everything. Her thoughts collided with her words and well, you gotta read the rest....; )
When the
entire world is tucked in their beds so warm,
She prefers talking to stars, the breeze tickling her arm.
"Oh c’mon, let's play", she urges to the sky full of stars,
"Aright then, let’s”, one of them landed in her balcony, breaking the
cloudy bars.
“Not here”, she exclaimed, “I want to come up there and say hi to the moon,”
“Well, hop on sweetheart”, said he,"Your wish is gonna come true very soon”.
On their way up a few of his friends waved and winked,
If it wasn’t for his lightning speed, she wouldn’t have lost them the moment
she blinked.
Everything around her was a shade of black or a hue of blue,
“How do your friends know me??” she asked him, given that she had no clue.
“My dear,” he answered, “not many people wave and smile at us every single
night,
You're are disappointed when it's cloudy and stay longer when the sky is bright.”
“Who's the pretty young lady”, the moon voiced as she looked into her
eyes,
“She is”, he beamed, “my angel who has
come to visit her paradise.”
She talked and laughed and giggled with the moon for what seemed like an entire
lifetime,
“Don’t leave without meeting us li’l angel”, she heard the other stars chime.
She hopped back again and every single one of them was already in love with
their new friend,
"I don't want to go home", a tear escaped her eyes as the night was
about to come to an end.
“Trust me baby,” he wiped her cheeks before continuing, “next time will be better
than tonight,
However, now is the time when you bid adieu to all your friends and say good
night.”
Tugging her into bed, he took her to a land where they only sang her favorite lullaby,
When she was lost in another paradise; he leaned in and kissed her a good
bye.
