Lanterns Poem by Alaude Solus

Sitting together,
They stare up at the sky.
The city gets darker
As the last birds fly.

The feeling gets so silent,
When a lil’ girl comes.
Holding a lantern,
While she skips and hops.

As the two watch the girl,
She climbs up the stairs.
She spins and she twirls,
Holding the light with utmost care.

She then stops and waits
And looks at the twilight
When it begins to get late,
She lets go of the light.

As the light drifts,
The two are surprised.
The darkness shifts,
When floating stars fill the sky.

They are both wonderstrucked,
He then said to her in awe,
“This is one such luck.
We get to see it before dawn.”
