    A flower in the stream

    While sitting by the stream
    of thoughts and dreams,
    a flower floated by.
    And against all rules,
    this time I picked it up.

    "By sitting, you can never reach
    the heart of the matter."
    YES! How can we strive
    to reach the place we never left,
    just by sitting by the stream
    of thoughts and dreams?

    The flower dropped again.
    It's fragrant sent still lingers.
    Being the heart of the matter,
    I trust it will soon wash away too.

            Look upon the world as a bubble,
            regard it as a mirage;
            who thus perceives the world,
            him Mara, the king of death, does not see.
