"One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world."
-Malala Yousafzai


Among the stars,
cloaked in the dark,

you are the moon
I look up to.

Your voice is the breeze,
whistling of trees,

a nightingale’s song,
a trickling pond.

Please don't go on
with the coming of dawn.

Promise to come another night,
so I can see your moonlight.


The author's comments:

I wrote this poem for a friend of mine that I loved, but I would lose as she had to leave to go to her home in Palestine with her family. Although it is not meant to be a love poem in the sense of romantic love, it was meant to be a poem about a friendly love.
