             Misty silhouette !
                                            Rich pasture land
                                          with green garland.
                                        Cowboy chasing cattle, 
                                      gaily  idly chewing
                                    soft grass on open
                                  wide meadow,
                                with satisfied 
                              half closed
                            sleepy eyes. 
                                                  soporific scenario
                                                 at noon of summer
                                               Afternoon cools ambient,
                                             rural panorama salient 
                                           Sun sinking down, 
                                         twilight faded, 
                                                                        evening merged.
                                                                      Full Moon smiled .
                                                                    Peasants, farmers, 
                                                                 rustics,  on way to home.
                                                                                                           Full Moon shines on firmament.
                                                                                                         Hazy silhouette not permanent
                                                                                                       boundary silver lining.
                                                                                                    I am staring at starry sky
                                                                                                  clouds float by Silhouette : 
                                                                                               Moonlight not clearing 
                                                                                            At starry sky I'm staring.
                                                                                         Dormant desires hastily fly, 
                                                                                       restless mind not to pacify.
                                                                                     Entangled pain and pleasure 
                                                                                   Hastily flying dormant desires
                                                                                 Moon bright ! Clouds on low height
                                                                               Dusty smoke trying to pollute 
                                       Scary thrill spread across
                                     the populace faces
                                   on spectacular sight 
                                 of pitch black silhouette.
                              glimmering on shiny scales.
                                                                           Dreadful dragon passing Moon.
                                                                         On top sot fairy with curly hair 
                                                                       Pushing back a trail of comet.
