Boundless
The Tao cannot be contained.
The Tao cannot be contained.
The Tao is unlimited beyond our understanding.
The Tao is infinite; it is forever.
You must give up to gain.
You must lose to win.
You must be crooked in order to be straight.
The Tao cannot be realized if you try to conform to society.
Be your own person,
Express who you are.
Teach them how and the what has vanished.
Follow the why and the where is boundless.
Words are the blindfold that cover the eyes of the witness.
Lift the veil.
Manifestations speak in the artful language the heart already understands.
I really liked how you spoke about the Tao being "boundless". The images and sensory details you used throughout the poem also really convey the true message of the Tao. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe last three lines sound awesome and different- I love your word choice. The entire poem has a great flow.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you expressed the Tao because it explains its presence on Earth and its influence on people.
