Ci-Jin and the Starry Sky

Let the moment live for longer in our mind, 
do not let it go
Keep on sitting close to me
Look at the stars
The Ci-jin island is so peaceful 
Wonderful night view from the lighthouse
Just stop your mind for a moment
Feel the silence of the night
Feel its deep secret
Refresh your mind with the sounds of waves
Let all the stress wash away
Look at the lights far in the sea
They look stars on the water
Listen to the outcry of ocean
When it hits the concrete blocks
Hear the pain of pullback of waves 
At their return of the sands, pebbles
Bashful slow step write the eternal notes of sadness
In a moment the shore sense the roar again
Roar and slow pullback, and then roar again,
Live this moment in ourselves
We are trapped in the prison of time
These few moments are free
Please do not insist to leave today
Do not let the moment go away
What an innocent night it is
Who knows what will happen tomorrow
Live the life little longer
