The Sky

by Chelsea Poshni

Have you seen the Sunset and Sunrise
And the Horizon that's a prize

How the colors mix and melt
And look as soft as felt

How they float away into black
As you wish them back

And that feeling that makes you sad
How the tears come and just make you mad

But then you see the stars
That are so small they could fit in jars

Now there's so many
You'd by each one with a penny

How they shine so bright
And don't put up a fight

So you stand watching them twinkle and shine
Then you realize you feel fine

So you sigh
And say goodbye.

Langit

Pernahkah kau pandangi sang surya tenggelam dan terbit

dan anugerah dari sang ufuk

Pernahkah kau lihat bagaimana warnanya menyatu dan melebur

dan tampak halus selembut tersentuh

Pernahkah kau pandangi warnyanya mengapung melayang kian gelap

Saat kau berharap ia tak lagi pekat.

Perasaan itu membuatmu bersedih lara

bagaimana air mata menetes dan membuatmu gila

Tapi kemudian kau melihat bintang-bintang

Yang kecil mungil seukuran pas dalam guci

Sekarang begitu banyak bintang bertebar

Kau bisa membeli setiapnya satu sen dolar

Pernahkah kau lihat cahayanya begitu terang

Maka jangan kau paksakan

Hingga kau berdiri memandanginya berkelip bercahaya

Pasti kau sadari "Engkau merasa baik-baik saja"

Sekarang kau mendesah lega

dan katakanlah selamat tinggal...
