Mountaintop Lake
Whole night snow fell in the mountains
Surrounding the blue oval lake
Downhill sang the gurgling fountains
In our window mystic snowflake
At morning the coloured fishes
Look at coloured birds on tree tops
Both after their golden wishes
Merry morning in their love drops
Clear blue water in the cool sun
All around the snow laden peaks
Love and peace look from the lemon
Many a word the dimples speaks
The lake perches within the hills
Shadows in a snowy whisper
With pines around us we stand still
Summer flows into the winter
It is the story of our life
The wheel turns from ice to warm sun
And then to cool snow from the strife
Glisten the flakes on your hair bun
Dusk descends on the sun soaked lake
At the end of lyrics of breeze
Our eyes moved to where stars awake
And moon draws shadows of the trees
Then the lake in contemplation
Of apple leaves rustling in air
Inhaling the meditation
We are in a lake like prayer
