Underneath the Moonlit Sky
When the egg yolk sun vanishes away
And the crimson of heaven begins to decay
Moon ascends to the throne of sky
Now fully mature, she is using her strength to untie
Fairies constrained in space by cosmic power___
Finally free, they all take out their wands in delight
Silver fibers spring out from those wands
And cover like a magical shield, the whole wide world
They reaches the Earth and the silvery shield remains intact
Which brings to life even the dormant creatures of the Earth
Earth's inhabitants welcome the ethereal beings,
And In the best possible way, do their biddings
Wind blows through woods to play the music along
The Leaves which sing the most bewitching song
Flowers unleash all their Aromas
Awakening the fireflies from their fortnight coma
But Sea is cold to them like Neptune
For she is in love only with the Moon
And she will dance for the queen of Night
Like a mad maiden in a very huge gown
She rises and falls, rises and falls... oddly
Struggling to somehow abandon her body
To enter the spirit world and to embrace____
The Moon just like matter sucked by black hole in space
So, she dances furiously in complete ecstasy
And never gets tired even for once
In the silver cold magical light
I too watch the show as a spectator, but silent
And my heart gets filled with magic and joy
It goes on and on until the Dawn
turns the silver dark to Crimson again
Horizon ignites...
Moon becomes invisible to sights
Fairies are called back
And the sea finally halts...!
