Crumbs

Possibilities

Can you gather your many souls and keep them in place?

Cleansing them, becoming soft. Can you be a Child?

With cleanliness and intuition, can you be flawless?

Can you love your country and rule the people without acting?

Heaven’s Gate opens and closes, can you do it delicately?

Can you reach the bright white four without knowing?

It gave birth to it and raised it

But didn’t hold onto it

Did not mother it

It was constant, and did not slaughter it

This is the virtue of Mystery
