Old Narcissus

Placid Lake reflects
Countless wrinkles on my face
Countenance reflects
Calm placid Soul

Still water reflects
Eternal reality
I, Narcissus see,
unchanging Beauty

Lines on my face
Sun,Rain and life
I, Narcissus see
Etched wisdom's lines

Unchanging brutality
Time esconced
I, Narcissus see
Enchanting reality

Slipping, incoherent
Trains of Thought
I, Naricissus see
what age hath wrought

Sweet Hopeful smile,
Endless dreams astride
I, Narcissus see
From the lakebed.

P.S : Insipired by a Smiling Buddha :)
