717. I am smiling today

```

Centuries of my totally

Forgotten hopes

Are reborn.

Therefore

I am smiling

Today.

My God is the witness;

My despair is the witness.

Centuries of my unconsciously

Sealed inner treasures

Are unsealed.

Therefore

I am dancing

Today.

My God is the witness;

My inner penury is the witness. ```
