Nighttime Lights
By Oren Milgrom-Dorfman age 11
I go outside, to watch
I look through a window, to see
City lights,
Windows glowing like squares of sun
Lampposts shining like starry skies
I go outside, to watch
I look through a window, to see
Sunset lights,
Red car lights flowing like rivers
Clouds turned pink like cotton candy
I go outside, to watch
I look through a window, to see
Star lights,
Constellations scattered like drops of milk
Planets small as seeds
Then I go inside, to watch
I turn away from a window, to see
Heart lights,
Love as bright as countless suns
Joy like all the stars in the sky
