One early dawn, 

I heard the day passing by.

Its sound fell silently

into the empty void of the night. 

I remembered my old love talking and laughing

under the bright, sparkling sunshine.

And then his eyes were full of loving  sunset’s light.

To lit up warm lips with glowing fire. 

I thought there was still a promise of Love

and I’d waited for quite some time.

But now, the strong wind blows through the sky, 

to fade away the words of love out of one’s heart and mind. 

I heard the the day arriving

with the song of the wind singing

on the shining green leaves.

Then, there was moment of sadness, 

as one missed out the boat of Love.   

And then one early dawn,

there’ll be only my footsteps on the road. 

As the passage of Time drags on drearily

and fills the heart with melancholy.
