Upon the fulcrum of the yellow sun,
the white crescent moon hovers aloof.
Illumines the beholder with a bright smile
that span across the indigo sky.

Is it merely the moon in the water?
Or the luminosity in your heart?

For this ephemeral meeting does not manifest twice,
Nature's spectacular display without man's device.
Radiance fades as the drama of life draws to a close.
Even in a brim glimpse of a moment, dharma unfolds.
Life is only a brief moment of the breath;
Cherish this opportune human life.
