Night Hawk Poem by Kathup Tsering

Fly to me as the glow of dusk settles in
Cries from the sky are heard
Flowers sleep as evening smiles

In sorrowful house, I sit
A solitary wanderer
Kin to the tree

The neigh of horses beckons
My heart gallops
Toward meadows

I shall meditate upon Lamtso Lake
Cries of the Night Hawk fall silent
In honor

Lamp of life
Illuminate
This dark night

Ponder the song of the Hawk
Lulling in the storm
Gift peace upon me

Night Hawk, messenger of Angels
Love me
As I love you
