The phenomenon of moon in the water
Is likened to human experience
The water is the subject and the moon the object
When there is no water, there is no moon in the water
And likewise there is no moon But when the moon rises
The water does not wait to receive its image
And when the tiniest drop of water is poured out
The moon does not wait to cast its reflection Does not wait to cast its reflection
Does not wait to cast its reflection
Does not wait to cast its reflection
Does not wait to cast its reflection Does not wait to cast its reflection
Does not wait to cast its reflection
Does not wait to cast its reflection
Does not wait to cast its reflection
Does not wait to cast its reflection Does not wait to cast its reflection
Does not wait to cast its reflection
Does not wait to cast its reflection
Does not wait to cast its reflection Past is already past
The future's not yet here
Things are constantly changing
Things are constantly changing The event is caused as much by the water as by the moon
And as the water manifests the brightness of the moon
The moon manifests the clarity of the water
