Our ship of peace rocked by waves, forever trying to uncoil,
Yet they lie beyond our control, mankind forever in their bind,
Ride not against them, for against the Wind yourself you will only embroil,
Solely steer yourself where you can, and to the path to peace you shall be aligned.
Like an encroaching fire, ahead looms life's suffering and toil,
Unbearable is but opinion, and by opinion we need not be defined,
Peer earnestly inside, and one may unwind that this struggle you may foil,
Discard judgement's counsel, and in yourself—a source of strength you may always find.
