The Look of Contentment

Khachab Dorji 1978 (Samdrup Jongkhar)



Having sown the seed of hope,
I sigh out of relief;
With the deepest of contemplation
That my sown hope grows deeper roots,
To sprout a strong scion-
That benefits the humanity.
The concealed contentment
Prevails in my deeper sentiments:
Deep, deep down into my inner heart.
What you see, may not appease;
Your feelings and satisfaction,
But my heart dances, I know!
