Daddy's Painting

This painting -

Black Chinese characters,
written on creamy white linen paper;

Each is carefully arranged
into its own seemingly square-shaped box,
thus making square-shaped blocks of words.

Daddy had written this several years ago.
At the time I didn't know what it was.

"What are these words about Daddy?" I asked.
"It's about the self-disciplining in one's life, my dear." Daddy answered.

"Why are there no commas or full-stops in between?" I asked again.
"That's the way life should be." I remembered him answering me.

These ancient words
now hanging on the wall -

Its characters,
self-disciplinarily arranged;
taking form into each square,
forming square-shaped words.

So fragile are our lives!
So strong are these strokes!
