The Sky at Night


The sky at night is not the same
The sun goes down, another world appears
It looks like a painting without a frame
Or a beautiful face, covered with tears
Or a song that lasts for a million years

The stars wander silently in the wide space
It's full of silence, darkness and dreams
Dreams of life, and noise, and light
Dreams of winning the life-time race
Or watching waters of heaven streams
Or making a rubbery out of sight!

 Some nights witness a comet passing by
Carrying hopes of going away
Of leaving this world to another one
Hopes of answering the question: Why?
Or playing roles we wish to play
Or reaching the comet before it's gone!

*****



The fight between darkness and light
Is obviously seen in any night
They fight and fight, but who's the master?
Humans say: "The one who strikes faster"!
Their fight is endless, it does never stop
As long as the sun goes down and up

The sky at night looks close and deep
Closer than pain, deeper than the sea
Just look up there! There's so much to see
It's better than snorting, or counting sheep

It's a world of wonder, a world of magic
A kind of dreaming while you're awake
Without any laws, orders or logic
Everything is possible, clear and easy
Enjoy your time and don't be crazy
Going to sleep is a big mistake!
