THE BEAUTY OF THE NIGHT

(Written in 1992 by Thavrith Bunkasem)                        

The shimmering lights creeping

Into the sea through the darkness

Of the calm night

 

Hearing the sounds of the many

curious, moving ridges rushing

To the shores of mystery

 

So fresh the air joining the seas

Creating waves in solidarity

Doing tireless errands

 

The comings and the goings of the tides

have said the same greetings

To the erratic sands

 

Splashhhhh

Splashhhhhh

Splashhhhhhh...

 

Lights making friends with darkness

Sand always welcoming

restless waves

 

Winds humming

Trees singing

Leaves dancing

 

All orchestrating under the

glowing stars in harmony

Ah! the beauty of the night
