The Most Beautiful Substance in the World
May the stars compare you to glittering gold
I'm sure you're nothing but water
Washing others despite allowing stains on you
You are water
-
May the stars compare you to lofty cloud
Flowing down to the lowliness
Coming to be Sea, the greatest
You are water
-
May the stars compare you to haughty diamond
Sinking the tough and proud into abyss
Floating the weary and humble above you
You are water
-
Round in the round bowl
Square in the square pot
Solid ice against freezing adversities
Self-purified vapour against fiery trials
-
You are nothing but water
