Deep inside of me, there is a lake
It is still, reflecting a mountain like a mirror
My mind is silent when I look at it

There, a ripple seems to distort the reflection
It is not disturbing
But spreads a wave of joy throughout my body

Silence sets back in again
The lake seems immeasurably deep
The reflection of the mountain unimaginably pure
