Over the rocks
Beside the ocean
Beneath the heaven – Happiness!
The dim-dusk
The mild mist
Darkness all around
And above adorns the heaven –
A gentle brightness
Orangish pink – Happiness!
Wondrous shapes
Displayed by clouds
Against the tender background
Synchronous movements
Of ocean waves beneath
And hither…
A dash on the rocks – Happiness!
A melodious tune
Carried by the breeze across the sea
Far – a boat afloat
A chain of light
Like pearls woven
The company of one's dear – Happiness!
Holding life together
Faith, Hope, Motive… – Happiness!
