The Tao is not named
The Tao is not visible
The Tao is not understandable
But the Tao is here
The Tao is what traces a path to destiny
To future
To balance
To harmony
It connects peace and war
Joy and sadness
Life and death
Yin and Yang
And makes it flow
As smoothly as the sea
As strong as the wind
As powerful as the lighting
As luminous as the sun
It is here and somewhere
It is now and sometime
It is present in the past and the future
The Tao is the creation
The Tao is the knowledge
The Tao is the spirit
And the Tao is the balance
I like your interpretation of the Tao and your writing style is really good.
ReplyDeleteI liked the way your poem had a lot of examples of what the Tao really is, since it's very hard to give a proper definition. It has a nice cadence as well.
ReplyDeleteI really like the style and pacing.
ReplyDeleteThe continued symbolism that the Tao is with us all throughout the poem really provides a sense of what the Tao is truly supposed to be.
