Tao #29 ~
Moderation
Ф
Seeking to gain the world
they lose their souls
there's no fulfilling
the bottomless hole
The Earth is a sacred trust
given us to love
when something is in balance
don't add anything to it
a mirror touched
is a mirror smudged
to seek to alter perfection
when one perfection finds
is the same as fixing a masterpiece
by addition of a line
Within the Universe,
some lay anchor and some set sail
some forge ahead while others turn tail
some follow and some lead
some fail and others succeed
some are hot and some are cold
some are afraid and some are bold
therefore the wise avoid excess
extravagance and arrogance
