I dived into the cauldron of magic potion

I dived into the cauldron of magic potion And turned numb Watching helplessly as my body Transformed into glimmering stars All set to twinkle in broad daylight! Then I found myself in the air And heard a child wail out At how gorgeous is the cloud That is passing above his head! What has happened to me, I wondered As I realized that I was the cloud he was talking about! With a sense of dread settling over me I tried to get back into the cauldron So that I may try to get back into my former shape But the winds blew me further and further away Towards the open sea where the waves rage and roar! I felt myself disintegrate further and further As I fell into the water and told myself That this must be the end of me: From human to water, Merged with the great ocean! Greed leads one to his own destruction The magic potion was intended to be Used sensibly And I, hankering after its potency Could only now wander if it is My tears which are drowning me in this vast ocean Or if the ocean water is that which drowns my tears!
