I have been thinking ...

I have been thinking of the difference between water 

and the waves on it. Rising, 

water's still water, falling back, 

it is water, will you give me a hint 

how to tell them apart?

Because someone has made up the word

"wave," do I have to distinguish itfrom water?

There is a Secret One inside us; 

the planets in all the galaxies 

pass through his hands like beads.

That is a string of beads one should look at with luminous eyes.
