Vibrant, a flower came alive;
a breeze of delightful scent.
With a flood of sparkling wine,
they were bathed in ecstasy!
Rejoicing thus, the mortals
misconstrued the Chasm;
judging the twin kingdoms apart,
they reveled in vanity!
“The sun has risen for us,” they yelled,
“Beneath our feet, Shadow is bent!”
“Dance not,” said the scholar,
“The flower is now not long to be!”
The flower smiled, but only once;
a parting gift for all of them!
The breeze carried the scent away,
leaving them a waterless sea!
(Just one look at the waterless sea
has taken the wind out of their sails!
Who could tell how they would be
if they looked straight into your heart!)
