When The Sun appears in the East

boat at sunrise

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 you smile

And something more:

I want to bow to you

With my heart's adoration.
