Embracing the Tao
How can one let go of fear?
Relinquish control of what
there is no control over.
It is essential to embracing the Tao.
She who fears a river’s course
can build a dam
or
she can let the water run
into the sea.
She can put a barrier between
her and her obstacles,
or
she can let them be
what they are.
She who knows the Tao
has nothing to prove.
She will move around change
like wind
weaving between mountains
and will never become lost.
I really like how you chose to talk about the Tao with all the examples with "she", overall it made your poem very strong and shows the different sides of the Tao.
ReplyDeleteI like how you were directed towards the reader but focused on "she" which was really cool.
ReplyDeleteThe serene tone of your poem nicely compliments the concept of this peace. I liked how this poem started with a question to get the readers to think from the start.
ReplyDeleteI like the use of the word "She" in your poem. It makes it dramatic and adds a cool effect to you poem.
