Like Water

Water falls down from the clouds
                      like
the world is created by the mind
                      like
self-pity sprouts from helplessness
                      like
greed stems from unquenchable want
                      like
doubt springs from attachment
                      like
happiness drips from freedom
                     and
like true love in its endless wait
                      . . .
     water returns to the sky.
