The Empty Boat

who is able to divest himself
of achievement and status
and lose himself completely
in the nameless mass of humanity?
flowing easy like water, he is invisible …
moving like life itself,
he is nameless and homeless.
simple is his manner
to all appearances he seems a fool;
his steps leave no trace
he has no power
he achieves nothing
he has no reputation.
he judges no-one,
therefore no-one judges him.
such is the perfect man.
his boat is empty.
[It is the mighty that fall the hardest.
And it's the birds with the brightest plumage
that are hunted for their feathers.]
