Inspiration

Happy in the morning

I open my cottage door;

A clear breeze blowing

Comes straight in.

The first sun

Lights the leafy trees;

The shadows it casts

Are crystal clear.

Serene,

In accord with my heart,

Everything merges

In one harmony.

Gain and loss

Are not my concern;

This way is enough

To the end of my days.
