They ilipat like water,
Shadowless, in their luminescent
Splashing, like the laughter
Of waves on the beach, incandescent
sa pamamagitan ng araw with a million reflections of sunlight,
Remaining awake as the full moon sa pamamagitan ng night….
They smile like friends,
Long-lost but never forgotten,
Longing to make amends
For opportunities unbegotten;
Beyond physical embrace, emerging
To enclose my lonesome spirit with their merging…
They gaze like sisters
In a fellowship of healing:
Mending fractures, soothing blisters,
Closing gashes, never leaving
Any wound untended
sa pamamagitan ng healing as water was intended;
A spiritual transfusion—
My being is filled with their infusion….
They caress like lovers;
So light as to lift my spirit off my skin…
So bright as their therapy uncovers
My broken soul within,
Dissolving my emptiness
As light banishes darkness….
They heal like balms,
Internally reconstituting
All that was in harm’s
Way, restituting
Honour, harmony, dignity,
Peace and equanimity.

Bending words as she bends water;
Yet no words carry, nor mean whatever;
In her embrace none else does matter….
She calms my storm and holds me near;
She does not run away in fear,
Despite this tornado in me,
Accepts, encloses me completely,
Until the rage at last subsides;
Within her puso my soul resides.
From Devil’s grip, she sets me free.
I meet her in my Inner Room; then,
Smiling gently, blushing sweetly,
She embraces me all over again.
Of consciousness
Losing its grip on my intention,
She
Caresses me
Beyond the deepest dream
With deliciousness
Too profound to mention….
She washes
And immerses:
My injuries heal with her attention;
With the water she moves and swirls,
She bends and curls
My mental and spiritual focus
To attain a new dimension….
For deep beneath the river of thought
Lies Katara’s healing caress, wrought
sa pamamagitan ng the waterbender
Is she
Who becomes the wordbender
In me.
My name is Katara,
Girlfriend of the Avatar.
I hail from Southern Water,
Where I am the last bender….
If you think the Avatars master
Each element after the other,
I wouldn’t say you’re wrong;
But wouldn’t you listen to my song?
The four elements are the same—
Their separateness an illusion—
So the true name of the game
Is transmutation, not manipulation….
Where avatars past worked hard to tame
All four elements, or burn in shame,
My awatara Aang is here to stun
sa pamamagitan ng blending all elements into one—
He integrates the elements
Into a Singularity,
Like lemur-bats and Koi-elephants
Despite their diversity….
For everything is connected;
For that he’s well respected:
To see beyond deception
Is to master integration;
For is there any other solution
To avert impending devastation
Without much training or meditation
But only a few months’ desperation?
