Poem: Looking Out To Sea, Warmed By The Spring Air
Author: Haizi Translator: John Sexton Read by Leaf
Starting tomorrow, I'll be carefree and happy
Roaming the world, feeding my horse, chopping firewood;
Starting tomorrow, I'll need nothing but rice and a few vegetables
In my house by the sea, warmed by the spring air
Starting tomorrow, I will write to all my loved ones
To tell them of my happiness
Of how happiness struck me like a lightning bolt
I will tell this to each of them
I want to rename all the rivers and mountains
Bring happiness to all strangers
May they all have a brilliant future
May all lovers find a way to be together
And everyone find happiness in their time on earth
All I want is to look out to sea, warmed by the spring air
