User Rating:

  Either be a lamp
Sitting at a place,
Emitting light beams
For swarming moths' solace.

Or be a moth,
Dance around the flame,
Forget your being,
Claim oneness with the flame.

Either be a forest,
Vast vividness embrace;
Lion and lamb live in it,
In diversity do their food trace.

Or be a seed,
Vast forest in embryo;
Get lost into the soil to see,
How does eternity mop & mow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
