when the sun returned golden,
spring sang in meadows.
Blooming mountains, bumblebees-

beneath clear blue skies and seas
cascades of flowers!
Then bliss hours of my beauty
and my radiant good health.

In blue hours of green

Pink, gold and purple
at the verge of baby blue
Soft, twilight birdsong
Flickering fascination
in the glow of green fireflies

Weary day gives way
