A reincarnated master
The disciples gather
They rescue pearls from the ashes
Look for signs in a cave
Study astrological signs
With patience they trace
The direction of the smoke
Footprint patterns
In which direction will they head?
Since the master left them
A great loneliness surrounds them
They walk
They walk to remote regions
They ask
Pray
Hopeful, they contemplate the mist
The rocks and the mountains
The waterfalls
And there
Near the dancing flowers
They find the most precious gift
The chosen child
That does not want to go with them
Cries when getting a haircut
But when the child touches their foreheads
Their hearts light up
Then they understand
The favorite child
Is always the one
Inside themselves
