There's a mirror in the pond
Lying still, on the ground
Hidden beneath the water
That shows all that is shown
When the Sun shines
It reveals mines
Of precious treasures
Pearls, diamonds, and gold
When the water is still
And the breeze is calm
The light of the Sun
Displays realities’ reflection
Due to the water’s purity
The Perceiver can see
Both below and above
Of hate and of love
The eyes see the apparent
But perception is hidden
Don’t you see that many look
And how few actually see!
The body has many organs
Eyes, nose, ears, and tongue
What use is it to a person
Who is asleep, not awoken!
Each breeze causes a stir
Each thought, hope and fear
A wave forms on the pond
The image becomes distorted
Murky waters below the surface
Blurs vision of the floor bed
Clean water, pure and sweet
Allows insight to the discerning heart
There's a mirror in the pond
Lying still, on the ground
Hidden beneath the water
That shows all that is shown
Reflections in the Pond
