Be Like Water
Like a seed deeply asleep in a pot of soil,
I lived life peaceful and still without toil.
As the seed grew, every day I poured water,
I too grew alongside it, in a frame of forever.
Like a teabag filled by hand of green leaves,
I look back on memories of all days, eves.
As the teabag floats upward in cup of water,
I realize I too will rise up soon without falter.
Like drops of water evaporating to the sky,
I see forward to times I am no longer shy.
As the drops return, I'll appreciate life more,
For I'm like water in every form, never a bore.
Like a lost soul, I was drowning for so long.
Now I see to whom it is I'm meant to belong.
As I save myself, breaking surface of a pond,
I realized I cannot abandon my sacred bond.
