A day so happy.

Fog lifted early I worked in the garden.

Hummingbirds were stopping over honeysuckle flowers.

There was no thing on earth I wanted to possess.

I knew no man worth my envying him.

Whatever evil I had suffered, I forgot.

To think that once I was the same man didn’t embarrass me.           

In my body I felt no pain.

On straightening up, I saw the blue sea and sails.   ​
