A monastery on the way to Thimphu from Paro

night

In the darkest nights,
Skeletons play foolish games
They laugh and tumble like children
Let the skeletons dance.

The sounds of bone hitting bone
Echo in the bottomless caverns
The click clacking click clacking
Softly plays against my ears

I am not afraid of the dark
Or scared of what goes
Bump in the night
I am the creator of the light

The darkness, whether large or small
Is a shadow, your shadow, my shadow
I am the creator of the night
As are you,

will you dance with me
Under the stars?

The dark will not frighten me away
I will howl at the moon
And wish upon a star
I am the creator of the night

The light will not
Play tricks on my eyes
Or transform me
Into a frightened child

I am the creator of the night

I am here to tell you, to help you
You too can create with me
Let us create a symphony
Or let us create a life

A life that we can live together
A life where we can all belong
But this life must be without light
I am the creator of the night
