Stars are twinkling <br />The night sky swallows them whole <br />They call out for help <br /> <br />Water rushing past <br />Never stopping on its path <br />To an unknown place <br /> <br />Wind blowing softly <br />Carrying hope far away <br />Carry some to me? <br /> <br />Soft as the wind <br />A baby cries in her sleep <br />Have you not woken? <br /> <br />Candles flicker out <br />Darkness descends upon us <br />No more leading light<br /><br />maddie bird<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haikus-19/
