Yin and Yang
The Tao.
Simple,
Like a cloud drifting through an empty sky.
Effortless,
Like the last leaf falling off a tree.
The Tao.
As pure as the snow at the peak of a mountain.
As clear as the reflection looking back at you in a puddle.
The Tao is warm.
The Tao is bright.
The Tao is everything.
The Tao is white.
The Tao.
Rigid,
Like the spine on the back of a newly printed book.
Messy,
Like a kindergartener's art project.
The Tao.
As corrupt as today’s society.
As clouded as a window pane after a shower.
The Tao is cool.
The Tao is dim.
The Tao is nothing.
The Tao is black.
I really liked the whole warm vs. cool etc thing, I thought it was really interesting and it also fit in with the topic of the Tao. It was a really cool poem!
ReplyDeleteI love the repetition and the personification. This poem has great detail and strong writing. Nice Job!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you compared the Tao to other things in life, it really makes the poem meaningful, and it makes the reader think about their surroundings.
