Such Is The Nature (Peace Within)

Above the circle of blue are fluffy clouds
Rain will fall upon the lake below,
Inside the lake are gold and black fish
They swim to-and-fro, here-and-there everyday;
Such is the nature of the fish.

Beside the lake there is a wooden hut
Inside the hut lives a hermit monk,
What lives inside the monk is the whole of humanity
The chant of peace is in the air everyday;
Such is the nature of the monk.

Life has its ups and downs since life begins
The world out there is always at war it seems,
There will always be ‘the-gots’ and ‘the-not-gots’
Humans mindlessly rush round and round everyday;
Such is the nature of the human world.

Differences existed long ago and will go on existing
We all have our own dreams of happiness,
Should we not then dream about peace for all?
Who will preserve the peace within if not you yourself?
