One Pleasant Night



I stood upon the hill that night
Alone myself pleasant summer moonlight
That fresh air smell
Stars in the sky
Made me most gracious
To be there on site

I looked up to the sky so clear
The nighttime breeze all I could hear
As I lie down
On a grass bed
To glance at bright stars
Far distant up there

Just as I was about to pass
A star in the sky streaks through fast
My eyes amazed
My thoughts abound
I wonder and wish
While I'm still aghast

Did my wish come true what's your guess
That's what I know and you go test
Release your mind
Release your soul
You must try to find
Which path is the best
