Poem time is before dawn because Op didn't sleep when they prolly should've SO

But once upon a dearest night,

Children Four looked up to sky,

They saw but few things to remark,

Between it and them, light and dark.

Those Children Four did scorn they hide,

Under smiles and fear and sighs,

For themselves did that scorn bring,

An end to them, to everything.

And though they fought at each side,

Guided towards each others' light,

Each child could not comprehend,

Another story, other ends.

So the Stars saw children blind,

They reached down, arms open wide,

Opened mouths of nebulae,

To speak their words, to speak refrain.

"Children Four," The Stars did say,

"See your worth once more, again;

And though you fight all night and day,

Others' wisdom may absolve blame."

The Children Four stood from their shore,

They looked around, eyes did bore;

But worth of self did they not see,

So they wandered 'long the sea.

Child of Fire, whose soul did bear,

Flighty one, was child of Air,

Child of Water, felt alone,

Child of Earth without a home.

Child of Earth was the first,

To break their own eyes' curse;

For if value in others they did see,

Their fellows' words were guaranteed.

Child of Earth broke through the blaze,

Child of Fire had set to raze,

Through the cracks of their own mind,

With blaze broken, the pair did cry:

"I am Yours, and You are Mine"

Child of Fire did align -

"And We are Ours I do decree,"

Home and soul had found their peace.

Together now did those two,

Fight that night, to break through;

Air's commitment allergy,

And Water's blunt force apathy.

With great force was Air contained -

Though Fire's actions had rage not stained,

Actions pure and true did ground,

Child of Air, their courage found.

Water's apathetic drug,

Fire, Air, and Earth, they dug;

Apathy fin'ly did run dry;

Water opened up their mind.

With promises of hearth and hope

Did the Children Four elope

To reunite with stars so dim,

From dawn's brightened morning.

"Come with us, come to the ground,

You gave us hope, stay with us now."

The Children Four desp'rately cried,

"We wish to see you past sunrise!

To share our joy, what we have learnt;

To mend those bridges we had burnt!

So please come down," the four cried out,

And so the Stars had found their ground.

The Stars so vast, the Children Four,

That was one story, may there be more,

Spoken 'tween the darkest nights,

Spoken, burnt off hatred's blight.

Aku dan Dia Kami hidup di dalam dunia kami sendiri, yang kami bangun dalam indahnya harapan dan imajinasi. Kami bahagia terhadap dunia yang kami jalani, walau pun tidak semua orang akan suka dan mengerti. Semua tanpa rencana, tanpa arsitek selain dari Sang Maha Arsitek.

Kami bisa bahagia, bahkan sangat bahagia di dunia kecil kami ini, terkadang ada sedikit pertengkaran kecil, namun semua segera sirna karena saling sayang dan cinta. Ada kecemasan dan ketakutan yang terkadang tiba-tiba datang, yang seakan membuat gempa dan badai dunia kami. Sedih... takut... dan juga bingung yang Aku dan Dia rasakan, tapi aku akan selalu mencoba menguatkan, bahwa ada kuasa tak kasat mata oleh Sang Maha Kuasa.

Kini dunia kecil kami seakan kekeringan, walau terkadang masih ada embun yang membasahi dipagi hari hati, ada gerimis tak terduga yang tiba-tiba turun. Tapi aku tidak akan menyerah, aku akan terus berusaha, untuk mewujudkan dunia kecil kami segera menjelma nyata di dunia fana yang sudah teramat tua ini.

Wahai Allah Dzat yang Maha Kuasa atas segala sesuatu... aku yakin engkau selalu menatap kami dengan sifat Kasih Sayang-Mu. Engkau pasti selalu mendengarkan doa-doa kami, yang siang dan malam terhantar kepada-Mu. Hanya kepada-Mu kami berharap dan hanya kepada-Mu pula kami meminta pertolongan, dan kami yakin atas segala janji dan pertolongan-Mu atas kami.

Demi Sifat kasih sayang-Mu, Duhai Sang Maha Cinta, karena cinta-Mu kami saling memiliki rasa ini, Engkau letakkan masing-masing rasa ini di hati kami, dengan kasih sayang-Mu pula kami bisa merasakan betapa bahagianya kami karena ini semua. Semua tidak pernah kami minta, tidak kami rencanakan, tidak kami niatkan. Namun wujud indah-Nya kasih sayangmu lah yang membuat keterikatan antara dua jiwa untuk menyatu. Maka kami mengemis Ridho-Mu, belas kasih dan pertolongan-Mu untuk kami.

Tapi aku tak akan henti bersyukur... atas rasa bahagia yang telah Engkau curahkan diantara aku dan dia, dan berilah kami sedikit lagi kesabaran untuk bisa melihat indahnya takdir-Mu atas kami, yang mustahil hanya berjalan begitu saja, karena aku sangat yakin atas rahasia ketentuan-Mu yang tidak bisa di fahami oleh sembarang makhluk ciptaan-Mu.

Dunia kami ini indah, amat sangat indah, yang tidak bisa dilihat dan dirasakan oleh selain kami oleh-Mu. Maka nyatakan dunia kami ini agar semua orang tercinta kami pun bisa masuk merasakan dan menikmati keindahannya, sampai kami semua berkumpul di dunia keabadian.
