I'd almost do it again
far ahead, far beyond
this misery I've created.
One place out there is
the spring, the autumn air
calling its name to my ears.
The yin and yang of harmony,
the re-entry of sanity
compelled the years of sorrow.
I saw a bird, a herring,
not one wing tied down,
hopping on a lake's edge
the green color of sage.
Even thre trees are helped to grow
and taught to be, and mostly
they have learned to know.
