Gift

















Gift

A day so happy.
Fog lifted early. I worked in the garden.
Hummingbirds were stopping over the honeysuckle flowers.
There was no thing on earth I wanted to possess.
I knew no one worth my envying him.
Whatever evil I had suffered, I forgot.
To think that once I was the same man did not embarrass me.
In my body I felt no pain.
When straightening up, I saw blue sea and sails.



禮物 
如此幸福的一天。 
霧一早就散了,我在花園里干活 
蜂鳥停在忍冬花上 
這世上沒有一樣東西我想擁有。 
我知道沒有一個人值得我嫉妒。
我遭受過的邪惡,我都已忘記。 
想到我曾經是這同一個人并不使我難堪。 
在我体內,我沒有感到痛苦。 
當我直起身來,看見蔚藍的大海和船帆。
