I’m so scared of this darkness
It’s so thick and full of fear
It brings me a sense of pathos
I hear a miserable sound of an owl
It disturbs me to keep a sound mind
It’s difficult to sleep soundly in this soundless night
That noise is driving me crazy…...!
No….! No…...! This is nature……!
No way to change it….!
It doesn’t matter with the sun rise, the darkness has vanished
I can see the golden rays all over the sky
Nothing has changed.
All are same…...!
As they were……!
Humming bees…...!
Singing birds…….!
They take me to a paradise that,
I love to live, I couldn’t see you all in the darkness……!
But I felt the smell…...!
Why should I fear darkness…...?
After all, all that is nature…...!
