Tiger and Sage
May 13, 2013
The tiger leaves the cave,
The flower becomes wood,
A wild goose leaves formation,
The sorrowful woman picks up laundry,
The soldier tips off his helmet and embraces the moon,
The golden hand of Buddha closes heaven’s gate,
The heavenly bat squashes the golden toad,
The maiden offers a book to the king,
The white snake coils to strike,
Dragons seize the pearl and Twin swallows fight
A hidden flower under the leaves begins to sprout as
The rhinoceros opens its mouth,
The fire escapes the water’s breath,
A young man picks a soldiers sword,
A great wheel turns as a sage dies.
