The moon shines in darkness of night,
Making the swirls on the brim of lagoon
 
A lamp is lighted among the winds tonight
Let’s see how long it continues to flicker
 
No point to fear the robbers as today
One looted, others crushed within home
 
It was half-done chitchat not done
In mist of mind’s eye, someone drone
 
What if heart string start to thump?
Who detains the mind’s realm?
 
On rim of light, just by dawn
Sight of last star goes down
