Alluring Andaman Sea

Alluring Andaman Sea
By William He

The tails swirling and bows bending,
Kites tethered to surfers gliding true,
Like giant hawks arcing high,
Iridescent gossamers surround the crouching sun.
Signaling every cloud to it's place along the gulf.
As a calm descends upon them with the weight of samgha,
In a strange air awake,
The body and projection of a dream.
The fins of chrome and scarlet loll are in the elevating weed,
Falling images rolling in the heart.

Light as it marvels the eyes.
Editing his wide web beneath the glittering ripples,
The gamuts in one endless string of friction,
Lankavatara-sutra,
There is a lagoon in it rustle through the noisy.
Phisuea Samudra,
Perching below the corrugated cliff.
The time as always passed by,
With no recollection of where it has been,
Lone day-dreamers seeking peace.

Tides trickle down and play melancholy tunes on vibes of stone.
Puppeteers skimming blue,
Sandgulls losing within a maze of discarded thoughts.
The melodious waves in order,
In flushing quiet that has consumed their mind.
Thonburi swaying,
To an ancient rhythm and nature's beat,
With a monotonous cadence,
Beyond the sea of teira aspirations the fractured souls sit.

浪淘沙慢 安达曼海
作者：何威廉

注银潢，
云升气运，
急速腾转。
波色流霞笑绽。
伽蓝幡影闪颤。
怎入梵天痴迷秘幻，
虚空处、
浪浸宫殿。
乍戏藻鱼群变人面，
波纹细声叹。

流眄。
在涡濑上连串。
见沫滚银滩，
楞伽问、
可有吹笛怨。
嗟拉达拿邦，
妖女开善。
混江旷远，
更落荒何地，
终非封禅。

潮信犹无言勾唤。
海若舞、
沙鸥邃岸。
水颜薄、
牵萦丝冀愿。
吞武里、
破碎波光。
佛眼惑、
模糊视野长鳍慢。



Notes:
"Samgha”: Buddhism, sangha refers to the monastic communities of bhikkhu (monks) and bhikkhuni (nuns). These communities are traditionally referred to as the bhikkhu-sangha or the bhikkhuni-sangha. As a separate category, those Buddhists who have attained any of the four stages of enlightenment, whether or not they are members of the monastic community, are referred to as the āryasaṅgha ("noble Sangha").
"Lankavatara-sutra”: The Lankavatara sutra is one of the most significant and most sophisticated of the surviving scriptures of the Sanskrit Buddhist
canon. Its full title is Saddharma-Lankavatara-sutra, meaning scripture on the entry of true teaching into Sri Lanka. Of
comparatively late composition, it provides keys to contextualization
and interpretation of different doctrines and practices of pan Buddhis.
"Phisuea Samudra”: A sea ogress and main character from Phra Aphai Mani, the masterpiece epic poem of Sunthorn Phu. It is considered to be one of Thailand's national epics.
"Thonburi”: The Thonburi Kingdom was a major Siamese kingdom which existed in Southeast Asia from 1767 to 1782, centered around the city of Thonburi, in Siam or present-day Thailand. The kingdom was founded by Taksin the Great, who reunited Siam following the collapse of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, which saw the country separate into five warring regional states.
"Teira”：Platax teira, also known as the teira batfish, longfin batfish, longfin spadefish, or round faced batfish is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Ephippidae, the spadefishes and batfishes. This species is found in the Indo-West Pacific.
