The water of lake is like A cup of green tea In a cavity which is Never filled to the brim. Men do not look Into running water As a bright mirror, But into still water. It's only the still water That can arrest them all And keep in thought Of their true souls.

Still water, like a mirror, shows the outside, but not the inside.

Always,

. . . and "still water runs deep," I have heard tell. Love those kind ofplaces where you can look into still water and be mesmerized.

Thousands of years before the mirror was invented, man saw his/her image in the water and marveled at what he saw. Did he think it matched the way he thought? Probably not. It certainly was a revelation that haunts us to this very day.

It's true, "Men do not look into running water." In the still water, we seek our image. Perhaps we don't realize that the running water has an image too. A thoughtful poem. John

The more placid the lake the better the reflection, but it does not show what lurks below.
