Embrace the dark
འོད་སྣང་ལ་འཁྱུད་པ།
The night is beautiful
Night has sparkling sky
You have seen ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ little stars
Shining like your beautiful eyes,
At night! Humans are less, so is noise
No one separates darkness from night
Nature’s miracles happen every night
As… my little-one is crazy for cars
Embrace the dark with Seven-Stars,
Let's have a look outside the balcony
Fireflies beautifying Mango trees
Under the moon, nocturnal roam and glows
Relaxing moments after the meal with fading shadows,
A night duty caretaker in Lychee orchard
Hungry dogs wandering below for the leftovers
A big bat ‘Manyah,’ just swiped over us right
I told you nah!
Embrace the dark; Miracles happen every night,
Don't be afraid; open tiny eyes
See your mother, listen to my rhymes
You, beautiful human, in my arms
And sticking to my left shoulder
Enjoying swinging and singing
Getting yawning while patting,
Surely love night for beautiful dreams
And it's a sign for deep sleep
Rhythm of the night is just the other side of light
So, my seven-month-old son
-Embrace the dark; following twilight.
This summer poem was composed after lori-lores singing for my son, who sensed the fear of darkness while going to sleep in my arms.
