By Carmina Alcantara

The stars at night are the shining light

That are so bright

I see the light of a small star

At a distance from afar

But in the morning the sun steals their shimmer

Now I wait for them till night during dinner

They wash away my fear for what brightness they bring

From my window I stare at them throughout the evening.

It’s Early Morning
