[ Be gentle ]

 

Be gentle

    like water

flawless, sans rivalry

Yet harder

    than stone

high tide, low, deep .....

Ever closest to the path

But the masses choose land

    over water

as best, most fit, reasonless

To think

    to speak, to render

heavens' depth and sincerity 

Rule, orderly, skilled and timely

To not compete

    be faultless, clear

blameless , like water, soft

On its own

    mild, never foul, low

gentle, destroyer of mountains
