Falling Star Poem by Niken Kusuma Wardani

“Have you seen a falling star? ”
A stranger asked me eagerly
I shrugged on reply
I know not star could be fall
Cause I put my star on the North
Shine a firm light to warm me
Close to heaven to passed my wishes;
To soothe the unsettled puzzle in my bare mind

“I saw a falling star! ”
Exclaim in excitement a man tag me
I shook my head and regain my conscience
The glitter in his eyes dazzling
He gently wrapped his dream and sealed with hope
And let it fly back to the sky
Yearning to reach the flash in time
To granted him the best illusions that life’s posses

“Where’s my falling star? ”
A voice of dearly girl echoes in the night
Sadly holding her old vanity
Walking across the lonely shore
Leaving a foot prints on million sands
She looks up longing to find the brief light
To give her a beep of miracle
Before the dawn flooding the sky

“What’s a falling star? ”
Is it a bright blessed falling from heaven?
Where is it heading to?
Will it slipped and dive through the heart?
Or just crashed down leaving a scar in a soul?
I want to know something so fast and pure
Strive against my steady dream up from here
I’d like to capture and framed it in my shelf

For years I sail over the sky
‘Till I heard the bell up on the hill ring
In sweet scent of precious flower from eternity
Brought the rainbow within my reach
Far too beautiful to be hold or to be loose
Yet I draw it by words and colors
Can’t hide my passion of knowing the answer
“Were you that falling star? ”
