At the lake side

 

A mysterious wind has blown
That carried a time flow of ancient times.
Out of heart I listened to the gentle sound of waves of the lake
That told me old stories about how people used to live here.
The sound came and went repeatedly and
Echoed to the voice of the soul of a person who had also visited here in ancient times
and was addressed to me.
I understood how that person had lived:
A truthful life sincere to one’s heart was neglected by others.
However there remained no regret,
As one had done everything one could within one’s lifetime.

An elapse of time has been forgotten.
This light-vision transcended time.

In the depth of my heart I knew this.
With great nostalgia I thought about a remote past.
The great passion of life that lasted till the end of life
Was actually still kept on burning.

A great encounter
To make a new beginning.
