Like Water Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

Like Water



Don’t be too haughty
unless your brain is as big as the sea
our little knowledge is just like a glass of water
compared to the vast ocean of reality

Don’t be too chesty
Think of your existence as just a pail
getting water from the well
but it doesn’t empty the well

Plunge your body in the sea
And get off from it
The space you leave in the water
is the same space you own in this world
it doesn’t matter whether
you’re big or small,
short or tall,
the water in the sea is of the same content
before you immerse on it and after you get out from it.

Enjoy!
be thankful you were given the chance to swim!

Great wisdom in this poem. I like it a lot. So true, what we know is like a glas of water taken from the ocean of reality. Very nicely expressed.
