One Starry Night



Thought of you awakes me in a middle of night...
clad on my robe I think of you from a distance
the stars above the sky began to catch my sight;
wind whispers your presence, a sudden bounce-
though vision seems dim; stars remain so bright.

Every starry night my mind turns towards you-
as if I see no murky clouds divide us apart...
from a silhoutte of my vivid imagination of you;
no longer worry a day will come for us to start
to live the kind of life I worked hard for you.

Hope same feeling will bring every starry night
and I wish nothing but comfort my longing soul-
for the fairies of mercy, pray with great delight;
this starry night shall come if I'd wish to recall
to rekindle a light of hope I've seen that night.
