Poem
Calming water and the moon shining Rivers of rays on a lake flowing A crippled water painting appears Men become half dead from having beers The molten gold became the night’s veil Blinding them from the white sun so pale Only found the moon’s phantom glowing Splashing water and the moon shining Men mining for a phantom glowing Enamoured by the lonely reflection One of them made a proclamation “There’s cheese white as starlight in the lake No other people are here awake Pillage the water and get that gem” They grasped their rakes and raised them Filled with craving and self-inflation Splashing water and the moon shining Men mining for a phantom glowing They shattered through the water in June Making mountains, valleys and a dune Making forests of dead twigs and leaves As the men craved the cheese like thieves A child’s voice called out to them saying “The white cheese of night you are raking Is a shining shadow of the moon” Splashing water and the moon shining Men mining for a phantom glowing “Who reigns over the stars of the night Who rises and sets by his own might Who is the spring of living waters Who is the life of all astronomers Who is the hope of righteous persons Who lived through all the world’s generations Who is the silver disk who gives light” Splashing water and the moon shining Men mining for a phantom glowing Anger filled the men who snarled and said "If such a thing is above our head Let it become visible to us" The child came out of the shadows thus Pointed his finger to it for their sake Fury filled the men who raised each rake So the boy walked back to his bed Splashing water and the moon shining Men mining for a phantom glowing The blind continued mining for cheese The boy continued resting with ease The moon was sad for the men’s blindness “They came to the world with emptiness And they will return to the earth empty My soul appeared to them in pity As a bright child from the dark trees” Splashing water and the moon shining Men mining for a phantom glowing
