岛空了还是潮落鱼走了还是海哭
[dăo kōng le hái shì cháo luò yú zŏu le hái shì hăi kū]
'Dao Kong Le Hai Shi Chao Luo Yu Zou Le Hai Shi Hai Ku', loosely translates as 'Island empty because tide receded? Fish left or sea crying?'. Through rich marine imagery, this poetic statement reflects upon departure and loss, posing questions on causality regarding departure (of fish or tide), abandonment leading to grief ('sea crying').
