시 (Poetry from Mind )

  

🌿 Summary

“Clear Water” is a contemplative poem reflecting on the balance between emptiness and clarity.
Through the metaphor of a vessel and water, it explores the meaning of letting go,
and, borrowing the gentle sound of insects, it reflects on the harmonious balance of the three poisons—greed, anger, and ignorance—together with moderation, compassion, and wisdom.
