Again
The work starts
As
soon as you open your eyes in the
Morning.
Hopefully you got
Some good rest
last night.
Why go into the city or the
fields
Without first kissing
The Friend
Who always stands at your
door?
It takes only a second.
Habits are human nature -
Why
not create some that will mint
Gold?
Your arms are violin bows
Always
moving.
I have become very conscious
upon
Whom we all play.
Thus my eyes have filled with
warm
Soft oceans of divine music
Where jeweled dolphins
dance
Then leap into this
World.
