Night tail of the dark leave in light hues
unfolding the tar-mar black sky of the pitch.
When the light carries away the darkness.
Between us, night fades into the distance.
And the Sun glows bigger and brighter.
Measuring the ratio of time everywhere.
Emptying atmosphere thinner than air.
Wining trophies where moments gather.
In rhapsody on warm summer nights
The quiet moon embracing the sky.
Display a grand panorama of starry lights.
Collecting trophies as time goes by.
Heroic days with brighter tales of light
Jewelling the memories and splendor of night.
Within the weave of nature’s gown
A circled pattern smartly strewn
Seamless seasons, spinning round
Within the weave of nature’s gown
Like autumn jewelling summer’s crown
A butterfly from death’s cocoon
Within the weave of nature’s gown
A circled pattern smartly strewn
