I.
We have
a calm and peaceful love
No angles to damage
No hardness to destroy
I love the people who make you happy
and the things you grew up with:
metal, wood, fire and water;
the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers;
friends and companions;
peaches soft, frost harsh.
So, I love
the whole world
II.
I shall pause for you, time and time again
listening to how you tell me,
among people, many troubles;
among people, many rains;
among people, many clear days.
I shall scribe for the world, over and again
thinking about how to tell you,
that body has more happiness;
that world has more blessings;
that the way has
more harvests ripe;
more radiance bright.
