On Further Reflection

The waters in this pool reflect

Above them what is in the sky

As elements that they connect

Get mixed together in the eye

In such a way as what’s up there

Appears to be here down below,

As what’s below then will appear

To have inside it what’s not so,

Exchanging places what’s above

In lying on this water’s face

Looks almost like a kind of love

Of elements as they embrace,

As though it were to rearrange

Twin elements become akin

To one another both to change,

Each being seen the other in.
