"You want to escape the confusion that you see before you. I tell you, you will never be able to escape the outer confusion unless, and until, you have escaped the inner confusion. And the inner confusion is your continuous doubt-indulgence." - Sri

You're the moon
I'm the water

Your reflection shines amongst my waters
You send silver ripples across my body

You're the moon
I'm the river

Beams of light come from you
Dancing upon my flowing hair

You're the moon
I'm a puddle

Though barely there, you still shine on me
Your face fills my sight

You're the moon
I'm a tear

Slipping down a cheek, I catch your eye
For the last time you light me up

You're the moon
