yet lets the world be
The Tao causes restriction
yet it constantly flows
The Tao motivates mystery
yet it always understands
The Tao obtains emptiness
yet it holds the universe
The Tao is in perfect balance
yet it easily becomes disproportioned
The Tao acts graciously
yet it can be so disrespectful
Can you fully understand what the Tao means?
The Tao is the only entity
that is always fair and harmonious
I really like the clear contrasts you have between your lines. You've truly embraced the meaning and the voice of the Tao, and your poem could easily be included in the chapters of the Tao Te Ching!
ReplyDeleteI love how you stayed with the same theme throughout the whole poem, it sounds very uniform. The structure of your poem is really good, and the message is very well written. Good job!!
