I sang and laughed with them
They were the joy of my inner life
I had no more happier times
Than when I was writing them-
Writing this one now
I think too of all the grief and sadness
That have gone into them
And will never be wholly written.
The writing of poems is a joy of life
Small or great as it is
It makes those of us
Who believe they are writing them
Breathe better.

I would like to translate this poem
I wholeheartedly agree, writing poetry does make me breathe better every time, happy or sad. Great reflection!
