Many a man, in a sea of truth
by light of day will rise,
to the top on the back of his inflated lies,
but miss in night, the sea and sky, for all their proof.
That sea is up and down is sky.
And, far is near, and near is far.
That lie is truth and truth is lie.
And, drowned is he, reaching for a star.
