Looking around and you’ll just see pitch black
A shade becomes a shadow, lengthening a fear beyond my nightmare
I walked at the edge of night, fringed a tiptoed
Witnessed on half-moon, leaves and branches are wobbled by breeze
My torch enlightened the dark here
There, a small lantern glistened in the dim
But I never knew
That the night sky could be so clear
That the moonlight could be so bright
Almost I see a clearer view with my own eyes, without a single light
Almost I see a brighter sight with my own eyes, pierced into darkness
I ate beneath the stars and the moon
I sat on the bench in the garden
Along by bush surrounded me, dancing on the wind
Along with cat and kitten to flatter, incisive eyes that gleam in golden
Am I afraid?
Am I intimidated?
Nah, I don’t know either
I am just waiting in silence
Yearn for a longing dream and light
