Was'nt it just a cup of water?
In the stillness of a Zen retreat
A master spoke to his disciple, discreet: "Go to the river, fetch me a cup Of clear cold water, please fill it up" The young one obeyed; at the riverside There did unfold a marvellous sight A woman of grace, in age akin Their eyes met directly, a love did begin In each other's gaze, passion took flight A growing love, pure and bright He left his past and followed her call To the estate where her kin stood tall They built a home in a tranquil place Their love blossomed with each embrace Through several years, children were born Their laughter echoed across fields of corn They toiled the land, their hands in the earth Content together, it all was worth But fate can be cruel, a flood did descend Submerged their village, neighbor and friend On the roof they sought refuge, a family in fear As the storm was raging, their fate drew near One by one, the children were torn away Devoured by the waters in a cruel display His love swept away, lost in the tide Leaving him broken, nowhere to hide The storm subsided, he sat all alone Huddled and lonely on the roof of his home A hand on his shoulder suddenly layed from behind The master's touch, h e came to find His pupil, who had been away for so long "Wasn't it just water wherefore you've gone?" |
