Feel the power within;
It rumbles, ever quaking.
Only you can control it.
To complement power,
calmness keeps everything in check.
Where there is light,
darkness lies out of its reach.
Where there is strength,
Decisiveness keeps it sharp and focused.
All things must flow together,
As it is heinous for them to cause imbalance.
Before weakness is strength,
And before the destination
There is the journey.
Just as such,
Life is always before death
And all things come together
To follow the Tao.

I like how you convey the balance of the Tao. You talk a lot about how forces are held in check by each other, none able to become more powerful than the rest. Very good understanding of the Tao.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used good descriptions and your poem was very much like the style of the Tao poems we read. I also like the image.
ReplyDeleteThis poem expresses the balance between a person and nature. The use of figurative language involving the flow of nature makes this poem interesting and helps it flow.
