I am the river
Travelling across the land
Spilling where I may
A sword in my bed
Leaves are split without a cut
Success, no thinking
I am the sword blade
Standing firm with great sharpness
Yielding to the bend
Water around blade
Bleeding without any wound
Cut yet without cut
I am many leaves
Passing without any sound
With the least effort
I am the great tree
Splitting the sky with no thought
Cracking many rocks
I am the wide sky
Blue within blue toward black
And yet I am light
I am the sun's light
I am the evening's moon
I am the stars above
I am...
I am...
I am...
