Deep water is always silent

 

A valley that emits a beautiful sound

Rushed to it and approached near

Found the valley that embraces none

 

Those whose hearts are yet filled and feel thirst

Are apt to easily pick out a site that emits even a tiny sound

Many days later

The beautiful water was found as the water that

only runs on rainy days

 

Because of the beautiful sound they hear only on rainy days

Today, the thirsty deer are becoming tiger moths

There are people making sounds only on rainy days

There are people rushing to the spot the sound is heard

A lot of them are still seen here and there

 

Disregarding the people's coming or going

There is deep water that proudly keeps running

It never slops against winds and goes dry under drought

But no tiger moths visit there as it emits no sound

 

Instead of sound

The deep water proudly shows off invisible meditations and dreams

Thus, it always looks for those who have bright eyes and deep and quiet souls

The deep water never lures

That is why it is still tranquil
