The mirror of the mind
Where does it come from?
Why does it flow so endlessly?
What secrets is it trying to wash away?
The river wears a shimmering gown...
They call it liquid light
Waves wrapping themselves around the smooth stones,
like an old friend offering a gentle hug...
What is that soothing whisper!
Are the ripples sharing secrets with the shore?
The fish and pebbles getting
a crystal-clear view of the world above.
Yes, I want to dive in!
Finally, the cool touch meeting my hands
dancing through my fingers with absolute freedom.
What is this calm settling inside me?
Is it the water reflecting the peace I forgot I had?
A liquid mirror showing my own eyes,
and it feels deeper than before!
Oh wait! Who filled this endless stream
with the moving jewels of life?
But, before I completely grasp its depth...
The current moves on, marking the flow of time.
But wait! I feel a stillness within
Asking me "Come on, join us!"
