60 of 81, Poems from the Tao, Spoken Word, Digital Photography and Art

60

          

The Tao is an ever-changing, eternal flow
She has no true banks, encompasses all

          

          

A country, a planet, may seem large
Next to the Tao
A fish to its river is immense

All claimed territory is but small-fry

          

          

Would you seek dominance over a spawning
Look to control its movement
Or allow it to travel as nature calls
Offering aid only when flow is blocked

          

Trusting when the times is right
Nature sees to incarnated demise
The Tao sees to spiritual eternity

          

Push and pull; you create fight
Manipulate where you need not
You create confusion

          

          

Rule with a tight-fist
Strangle life

          

          

You serve the Tao
When you do little to prevent its flow
