"Gift"

A day so happy.
Fog lifted early, I worked in the garden.
Hummingbirds were stopping over honeysuckle flowers.
There was no thing on Earth I wanted to possess.
 
I knew no one worth my envying him.
Whatever evil I suffered, I forgot.
To think that I was once the same man did not embarrass me.
In my body, I felt no pain.
When straightening up, I saw the blue sea & sails.
