The dusky sentiments touch the heart
The setting of the Sun spread gold
The mesmerizing sea very bold
The waiting benches call you
The moon wanting to emerge
The sheet of the sky overspread
The magical hues never do suspend
Sikiladi

The spread of white so seemingly pure

Unblocked all emotions to the bare

The cold layers of winter are here

Demanding warm hugs full of care

Sikiladi

Standing lonely on watery land

The quiet around the noisy shore

He ponders where his mates doth fare

Reflection reflects his thoughts obscure

Sikiladi

Wings desperate to take a flight

Sanctity maintained in all might

The feathery feelings form a chain

Queuing up like links of the train

Sikiladi
