Brother and Sister
Like two tiny parrots from one parent nest
Like two busy bees hovering round one lotus flower
Like two blossoming eyes on a beaming face
Like two bright flames in one silver plate
And,
Like a pair of goodly pearls on a red silken thread
Like a pair of buds on the bough of a flowering tree
And,
Like the lighted surface and the light emanating
from the self same moon
Like the delight and affection from a single love
And indeed
Like the untainted consciousness and the unmitigated bliss that belong to one essence,
Thus do I think in my mind, beholding the going about,
in the foreyard of my house, two little children and
their active pranks, in great joy of heart.
