1 Pebble in the stream
   Lava flowing on the hill
   Our words change slowly

   Frothing surf atop the waves
   The tide comes and the tide goes

2 Words are given thoughts
   which may melt old rocks and clog
   streams which feed the seas

   Seven seas brim too slowly
   Attentuate too swiftly

3 Sea eels verb each noun
   So what if fish tell lies, Yang?
   Seals live on white lies, Yen.


   Slippery tongues obfuscate
   The truth and lie in all hues

4  Pure truth absent hue
   Lie enfolds germ - tainted truth
   Waves pound shore, cleanse truth.

   Truth's diamond never corrodes
   But refracts to each their hue.

5 Flood cedes, growth anew
   Diamond of truth commands view
   Wisdom pores, like dew.

   Dewdrops catch morn’s light - reflects
   And grows a new sun’s image
