Water flows, Falls down, Be moved by winds; cannot stop moving: pliable, tranquil and phlegmatic a pond, a lake, a river, a waterfall; quick and slow and wide and narrow; down and down into... Ocean... The expansive water It evaporates into the sky Foaming the clouds, Transforming into raindrops, mist, haze and fog; mysterious, unformed, and subtle... Till the moment comes... The crying sky is now mourning, The growling waterfalls; Coming from the deep inside of the cave. Wind and Earth undulate water To let them roar and howl to swallow the land. Haku-Ryu, the deity of Water Appears its presence. When the moment passes, Back to the gentle face; shinning; The reflection of the light On the surface of the water As if nothing happened, Yet; we knew it happened.
