When you are hurting,
go out into the balm of the night
and know the arms of the moon
around your shoulders.
Feel your shoulders drop
as the tension in them dissipates.
Listen with your soul
to the moon’s throng
of little twinkling messengers
singing your heart warm and comforted.

Imbibe the fullness of the night
and sleep a rich, deep sleep
and awake to the warmth and promises
of a new dawn
that you greet with the respect it deserves
and undertake to make your day splendiferous
and a treasure hunt for the littlest things,
though you may have to look hard
to see their tiny sparkles,
shy in the glorious light of the sun.

No, bbynames, as you have so obviously intelligently and knowledgeably picked up, I first wrote it in Outer-Mongolian, then translated it to Inner-Mongolian and then to Chinese, then Hindi, then Spanish, then Russian, then Ancient Greek, then Latin, then because I haven't yet learnt to speak English, I used Google Translate to translate it into the best English I could. Bravo for detecting all that!
