Moon on the Water

At the water fall, the wind tousles the flying springs,
Making a cool sound like the one that you're hearing.
From the peak of the mountain rises the moon,
Reflecting on the waves as it dances to
and fro. Of one thing I am sure,
If I was to die right here, even my bones would be pure.
The serenity, is what it really means to me,
I could stay here for hours sitting peacefully.
My mind is like the moon, pure and transcendantly elegant,
It's impossible to compare this mind with anything.
How could it be possible to explain this to you?
Instead, why don't you sit here, witness this view.
Scoop up the water, the moon is in your hands.
If you search for it there though, you wouldn't understand.
As the moon is dancing on the waves, it's also in the sky,
See the moon on the waves, and hear the water flow by..

The moon on the water..(Yeah, Ha!) x4

No matter how quick the stream may be,
It doesn't carry away the reflection of the moon you see,
This is nature, in balance and in tune,
The water is water, The moon is the moon.
Why try to complicate things and see them as more complexed,
And let day to day events get you stressed and vexed?
Flowing streams do not compete with one another,
In human life, there is to much drama.
Be more natural, you'll become more relaxed,
Be more relaxed you'll be more natural, this is a fact.
From this you will reach a better state of mind,
Uncorrupted, unaffected by the ways of mankind.
If you come across a problem, you will easily get round it.
The power of your force will be astounding.
See if you try to block a river it will just keep flowing,
Or find a new course, without ever slowing.
If you are thinking, that this isn't true,
That a river can easily be blocked, then let me ask you,
"What is the use in you building a dam?"
The river has already been cut off do you understand?
Let the river flow its on natural way,
This is the easiest path, for the river to take.
But let it be unpolluted and clear,
So you can see through easily. You can see here
and there there are fishes, and after jumping upstream,
The carp finally became a dragon to achieve a dream.

The moon on the water..(Ha! Yeah) x4

Let the water be the same as your spirit,
Water adopts the same shape of any receptacle with which you fill it.
It can be either a trickle or a wild sea.
This is the way in which your spirit should be.
So watch the water, let it be your inspiration.
Listen to it, maybe you will feel elation.
What more could you ever want in life than this?
Your whole life will be in a peacefull bliss!
