Heart opens and
Inside, stacked neatly are
Two boxes

Open the blue one
Tumbling out
Comes the knowledge
Little raindrops
Of learning
Each a new discovery
A new investigation
A new discovery

Lift the flap
Red cube now
Smells of sincerity
Fill the heart
The thoughts cover
The furniture
Like dust after a long neglect

The heart is warm
Full of fertilizer
The crops are cultivated
The life-box has reached it's tranquil repose
With each bumbum
It pulses through
Calm buzzes
And energized
Bumbum
bumbum

This is a poem I wrote about The Great Learning by Confucius. It represents his concepts with a lot of imagery.
