GOD'S GIFTS
God's
innumerable gifts has hallowed this green earth,
Surrounded by the blue wines, like thy mirth.
These gifts include
the blue welkin pied with tinkling stars,
The terra plumed with fauna and flora with cleavingflowers.
And the benevolent
and virtuous men,
with a pure heart filled with fun.
These gifts from God has made the world colorful,
And all
the more elegant and beautiful.

CARPENTERS
Carpenters
carving at the dawn of the day.
What do you carve, so tiny and bright today?
Rich in hues and yet so mild,
We
carve the cradle for the new born child.
Carpenters carving in the wearying noon.
What do you carve with the wood
of poon?
So light it sways like a rising tide,
We carve the palanquin of the tender bride.
Carpenters carving
in the twilight of the night.
What do you carve with all your might?
So vast and gloomy, like a nimbus cloud,
We
carve the dead man's coffin shroud.
