In a Wave of Nostalgia, I Present My Favorite Poem...

* A wave of nostalgia suddenly rushed over me from a crumpled piece of a notebook page that tumbled out of my cabinet just a few hours ago…I picked it up, unravel it, and was shocked to see what was written, scribbled in my own handwriting…
It was my favorite poem
(My Philo 1 teacher in my freshman year actually made us read it)
I was deeply affected by this poem the first time I was able to read it…
The catch…
Its’ message still leaves a sting on me.
Tonight, I am the star in the dark sky
By Nicolai Pineda
Tonight, I am the star in the dark sky
Twinkling light, wonderfully wailing,
Calling and shouting for the lovely prince.
As the handsome noble passes by,
The clouds slowly cover my twinkling light.
When the clouds have entered the grasp of my eyes,
The prince looks up.
As I move out from the clouds, the prince says,
‘How lovely the star!’
He looks at east, when my light shines west.Currently feeling: melancholy
