Stillness
The waters on the lake, lay quiet and still,
As if under a spell and didn’t want to spill.
The secrets it held beneath the treasures stowed,
Buried deep inside where the fishes flowed.
On the surface it looked so crystal clear,
Like a mirror you gaze with a image near.
Not even a movement, not even a ripple,
Even a gentle touch refused to solve the riddle.
The calmness it showed, sealed the vastness deep,
Like a world full of life, it held within its sweep.
The varied life forms filled it to the brink,
It’s not a surprise, the smile it could not bring.
The quiet that emerges when the pace is slow,
Silence that takes over, which fully shows.
Restlessness engulfs when the climb is steep,
It’s stillness that connects to mysteries deep!
