Landscape

Landscape

Overwhelmed by thoughts

A jumble of emotions

Seeking meaning

From a conglomeration of words

Start my yoga

Clear my mind

Meditate on comprehension

Light begins to dawn

Where does difference begin?

We are all part of a whole

Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle

Yet we are unique

We divide into colors

Like a landscape

Individually unremarkable

Collectively Creation

Intellect saw me through

The worst of times

Diverted my pain

Into Faith usually for the future

I see no thing 

But I feel eternal

Surrounded in the Love

Of Creator

Never understood Taoist teachings

On learning

Until I unlearned

That which I was taught

Find the earth’s energy

Absorb it into Being

Accept as my own

Here I find Yin

It is the water

The surrender

The acceptance

Which leads to love

Yang is action

Personal response to yin

Yang is the fire

Which boils yin

Thus emotions formed

Are acted upon

And reacted to

Through each physical form

Thus behavior results

Good and evil not for me to judge

All I know are my feelings

And observed behavior I Will not to emulate

Never felt at home

In this physical form

Trying finally to learn how

But my joints ache on Winter mornings

I am as I am

The Divine within

Watches without in amazement

Seeks opportunities to serve

God of war turned God of Love

Blessed by Her Presence

His beating heart

Keeps Universe in motion

Where to begin

Best to start with myself

Be the change

Spread the word

It doesn’t matter to whom we bow

It doesn’t matter whom we worship

It doesn’t matter our ethnicity

It doesn’t matter economic status

Each life force derives

From the same source

All is unity

All is equality

It is there I find the Tao

The great mother

Acceptance

Love

Blessed be
