With feelings of joy and romance,
I come to the beach.
The blue sky, the delightful sea breeze,
Sea birds, ocean spray, footprints,
And hermit crabs in the sand,
All are poets' inspirations
And painters' canvases.
I, a passerby,
Pick up things that do not belong,
Returning Mother Nature
To Her original look.

You ask us why
we just want to sit here
and watch You.
You ask us why
we love to hear
even Your idle chatter.
You ask us why
we want nothing else
than to be with You,
You ask us why
we don't want You to leave us alone,
Do You know why?
Master,
it is because
You give us so much purpose
Because You stimulate us to go beyond
Those places we could not even dream
to reach!
Because Your foot steps
are like a map of life for us
Because around You
we have no fear
Do You really know why?
Because You give us the ultimate inspiration
Because You are to us life itself
Do You really know why, Master?
Yes.
You do!
Your song has awakened my deepest memories.
Suddenly, I realize
You Are My Only Love!
This journey has gone too far and too long.
I thought no one would ever be able to soothe my feelings.
Your song has uncovered the deepest yearning in my soul.
Yearning life after life,
Is as deep as the ocean.
My love hidden in the stars of the universe.
Only You know full well,
How profound such longing is, day and night.
It's Your sweet love song
That has brought forth my eternal, immortal love.
Man's beauty is not from the good looking clothes he wears.
This realization comes only after knowing Master.
There is inner "beauty" which we can also wear.
It is not the clothes which make us beautiful.
When Master said,
"I'll walk around only if all of you dress up more beautifully."
I secretly and shyly stuck out my tongue,
Because
My heart was still not simple and pure enough.
Man is beautiful because he clothes himself
with simplicity and purity.
Or, should we say
True beauty depends not on the clothes or hats worn.
(Editorial remark: This was indeed "an accidental enlightenment". What Master actually meant on that evening was that She would walk around the scene for everyone to see if "She" was dressed more beautifully. However, the author's wrong interpretation led him inadvertently to this enlightenment. So, that was another masterpiece by the mischievous inner Master.)
