Moonlit Night

By Dahey Sangno

Tonight is the night,

When dark, humid nights flee

Tonight is the night,

When the moon shines to glee.

And tonight the is night,

When cool winds blow by me.

Rising up the sweet scent of rain-drenched earth;

Above I see the golden clouds dance to mirth,

Assuming as many forms.

Or making of future storms?

Whatever!

Tonight is the night,

When, to her, I yearn to see.

Tonight is the night,

When I’d sit with her under a tree.

And tonight is the night,

When we’d talk love long and free.

Never had I felt like this- I don’t belong to the Earth

And that I am amongst clouds; feel it is right to start

Dreaming of a life together.

Or beginning of parting hereafter?

Whatever!

Tonight is the night,

When I make most of moonshine.

Tonight is the night,

When I cherish our love blind.

And tonight is the night,

When I’d enjoy a glass of red wine.
