When the sun appears in the East,
I make friends with my poetry.I see a golden disc
Right above the blue sea.A red hibiscus is smiling at me.
Is there anybody on earth, O Sun,Who does not long for your smile?
No, nobody.Everybody wants your smile.
I too want your smileAnd something more:
I want to bow to youWith my heart’s adoration.
