JOURNEY OF HEART

 

JOURNEY OF HEART

(A poem of natural wisdom)

 

Do not know

When

I am unsure

And confused

 

Do not know

When

I am resentful

And envious

 

Do not know

When

I am grudging

And jealous

 

Do not know

When

I am angry

And upset

 

Do not know 

When

I sigh

And worry

 

Do not know

When

I am hopeless

And distressed

 

Do now know

When

I am delighted

And disoriented

 

Do not know

When

I seem to see through

And excited

 

Those

External things

Besides

Torturing myself

What else can they serve

 

As long as

I

Live

In peace

 

Can enjoy

Spring Summer Fall Winter’s

Sun

Rain

Air

 

I am

Satisfied

 

 

Do not know

When

I suddenly realize

The truth of

Naturalness

 

Warm sunshine

Illuminates all with equality

Moist rain drops

Spread all with morality

Tender air

Touches all with sincerity

 

They

Purify

Life

 

They

Love

Life

 

They

Give

Life

 

 

Do not know

When

I finally realize

What happiness

is

 

Each truthful thought

We

Erupted

Isn’t it

Happiness

 

Each beautiful word

We

Poured out

Isn’t it

Happiness

 

Each kind deed

We

Give

Isn’t it

Happiness

 

Ah

Happiness

Where are you

It is under your feet

In

Your

Heart
