When the Sunset

When the sun set, far away Across the mountains above. Splashing it's rays on the surface of nature, When birds and crickets are chirping And the frogs and crows are croaking, When sweet breeze is blowing From the woods of solitude, In the meanwhile, I think of your rossy smiles Like sunrise in the altitude. When Fisher men paddle their boats home After a hard earned fishing, When country women are grinding grains For evening food, When the children are playing, dancing to The melodies of string guiter, I sit alone near the bamboo fence and Review your words in smiles and closed eyes. In the meanwhile, the thoughts of you Knock me off my feet. For when the sunset far away in the west, When canary birds are orchestrating from their nest, Across the valleys and vast arctic, I walked in the woods full of glee, Thinking of you with a melody in my heart. When the sunset, always for you, Taking away my blue, singing For you with a heart so true. When the sunset far away in the west..... CHARLESMELODY (Lightning Ink).
