Calm, poised, and unperturbed Alone but not lonely, it rides the tides Greenish yellow with serrated edges Light and weightless, it bounces along Savours everything that comes its way Dances through the turbulent hill stream Drifts across the glassy placid lake Sways in the graceful murmuring river Doused by water, sparkling and murky Not sodden nor shaken, it glistens and shines Tumbles into the vast limitless ocean Rises and falls, plays with the waves Infinite happiness and boundless joy Home at last, it smiles in peace Doors have opened, time has come It wilts, it fades, it withers away!
