When the skies are black
We look to the sky
I see the stars and the moon
The star is shining
And the moon is sleeping
The stars make me happy
The moon makes me sleepy
The star is my life
And the moon is my heart
And the sky is my family
When I see the skies
My life is changing
Poem by Meas Sopheak, 15 years, living in Cambodia.
The poem is a result of the workshop Creative Writing from the NGO Writing Through, one of the partners of CONNECT.
