Tag: the way

VI

Empty, unending.
Everywhere, invisible.
Effortless.

V

Shortcuts to weariness:
The benevolent impulse,
The abundance of speech.
A bellows, though empty,
Is filled with potential.

IV

Walking wary,
Forging a way,
Through the
Worries of the crowd.

Sharp points and
Lustre dulled,
Tangles unraveled,
Flame diminished.

An empty watering can,
Overgrown and rusted,
Afraid of overflowing.

III

Disregard superiority, kill rivalry.
Ignore rarity, dispel thieves.
Calm of will, tame of impulse.
Full bellies, strong bones.
With no compulsion, inaction.
Without action, all is well.

II

The grotesque from the radiant,
Ineptitude from skill.
Light / shade,
Commonplace / arcane:
All is music,
Contrasting, codependent,
Heard only by the silent.

Beginning, growing,
Relentless happening,
According to form, code, custom.
In return,
Expecting nothing.

I

Unwalked, unnamed, unending:
The source. Wantless,
Joining the great question,
Where subtlety resides.
