Funday Times - Poem for the week

The starry skies
By Gaya Samarakoon (13 years), Visakha Vidyalaya

It was a silent, dark night,
I glanced up at the sky and saw,
An unearthly, heavenly sight,
The creation of a fairy wand.

The heavenly spheres were covered in black,
But in the darkness I could see,
Thousands of shining
diamond-like stars,
Sparkling with brilliance that astonished me.

I gazed spell bound, at this stupefying sight,
Yet could not take my eyes
off it:
Until in the morning light,
It faded away like a dream.
