Title: In the Arms of the Awakening Day

At sunrise, the lake gleams beautifully,

leaves rustle as they fall from the trees.

As the moon fades, a siskin in the forest sings

to chase away the mists, of which there are many.

The waves shimmer with shades of the rainbow,

the clouds float with the lightness of an angel.

In autumn, everything around you smells –

it's a wonderful concert when silence rings.

In such a setting, I sit on a stone,

admire the ever-changing view,

and recall my childhood dreams,

to bless the dawn upon waking.
