    nice, I looked up the pronounciation/meaning of bodhisattvas. I see the construction of 5/5/3/5... but not familiar with that. There is definitely sound. I like the imagery. I imagine the water as a metaphor for enlightenment as well, teacup is the mind... not sure you meant that, but it was something that came to me. thanks for sharing, well constructed... although not sure what this form is called.

    Don't be too caught up in form. If you must think of a form, it is the form of water flowing from kettle into a cup.

    And thanks for the thoughtful comments.
