Armidale in the Night

Armidale in the Night




Do you know that every midnight I go outside to see Armidale in the night? When I see the sky, the moon looks at me and gives her nice smile. Yeah, I can see her beautiful face that shinning Armidale every midnight. Even though sometimes she leaves me without saying good bye when the rain come. I see the shadow of the tree which so beautiful, dancing escort by the wind blows. I just stand under terrace. Silent and muse... What I am thinking is, "Is it true that I'm really in Armidale? Still I don't know... And the night become so night. The cool of Armidale in the night smile at me, give a nice hug and kiss... Then I go back to my room and try to sleep. But I can't..! Then I try to count sheep until thousands. I still can't...! This is because the cool of Armidale in the night rapes my soul, steals my spirit, and takes my motivation. Then I wake up... I sit on my chair. Open my English books... And suddenly from page to page of those books, come out a shinning light, go through to my eyes. It is warm. It moves to my brain. It makes my brain is fresher. My heart then is full of hopes. Exactly, the cool of Armidale in the night has given back my soul, my spirit, and my motivation. And do you know..? They give me a new one...



Armidale, 2008.
