Commanding The Flood
Water takes on form
determined by the container
Its main characteristic
forever to move downward
An army's defenses
should act like water
Filling in the empty spaces
of the attacker's weakness
Where mind and spirit meet
darkness turns to daylight
Once you luminate the battlefield
you can counter at any time
When your will pierces
the enemy's fear and turns it against them
You swallow their spirit
digesting it whole
Advancing as one
withdrawing as one
Victory of great consequence
knows no other way
Winning flows in torrents
through the heart of the commander
Whose soldiers fight through strength of hand
-in currents to define
