Mirror  Mirror

When the lake is calm and the ripples are gone,

The reflection of the tree laden shore is strong.

Shorelines image is seen clear, like looking into a mirror.

But when seasons breeze disrupt the leaves,

And the glassy mirror is gone.

The waves distort our vision as if something has gone wrong.

Cast your eyes away from the waves, and look directly

At the trees.

Then your view is connected to the essence of what you see.

Now if you have patience of mind, and wait for the right time,

And everything is still.

Look inside yourself and you will see

Your soul’s reflection, looking directly back at thee.
