am I Moon or are you?
“The moon does not get wet when reflected in the water
nor is the water broken or disturbed by the moon’s reflection.”
- Dogen Zenji
am I Moon or are you?
if I am Water I am no wetter
or better for your beaming
but in your light I see myself
enlightened in the night
more clearly deeply darkly still
and of course you
pearl of reflected light
playing across my waves
seen and seeing more clearly
for my mirrored surface
beaming down caressing my wet
in the becoming
in the presence of one another
we are entirely separate and entirely one
