flowing waters, feel their source
to this languid pool in a dream
where coolness reaches into your heart
and your hopes rise upwards like steam
looking up, see a circle of branches
gently reaching to entwine your core
looking down, the past reflecting
you float above and begin to soar
clouds beneath you, life ahead of you
a scintillating light guides the way
be absorbed, fall to its center
for within that peacefulness
you may stay
