a view of stillness

Yasu Na

The quiet vast lake is
surrounded by the hills.

 

The waves shining in the sun
are so bright
that the lake appears to be covered in a haze.

 

The silent wide freeway
is seen across the lake palely.

 

The slow flow of motor vehicles is
seen without the wall.

 

I try to take the photo of this view.
But my index finger stops,
because I wonder
whether I can grasp this beautiful stillness
in motion.

 

While my spirit is still,
the view
is moving slow like the tone of the sky
at dusk

 

which would never end.
