Miles Away Poem by Reihaneh Jalalian

Miles away
In a massive jungle
Where the moon goes to sleep everyday
Above the tallest tree
Where a red bird has made a nest
I'm looking at the sky
I'm counting the stars
One million and six hundre…
Everywhere is dark
Cause I've closed my eyes
When I open them
Oh no, the shiny sun is in the sky
In this quiet jungle I hear someone is calling me
I listen more
Someone is whispering
'Don’t talk loudly moon is asleep'
