Lessons
Poise of new day
Styles a smile;
Voice of new rays
Watch sun flood miles.
Peel of new light,
Darkness makes way;
Streams of clear sight
Sparkles new day
In simple streams,
Brisk wave of change;
It seems a dream,
This sighting strange.
So many things
Come forth to greet;
A surge or fling
On paths we meet.
Here once again,
Lessons to learn;
From pain to pain,
Passage we earn.
This earth school here
Edges each man;
Sorrow and cheer
Arrive to trend.
Win, lose or draw,
Attune your heart;
Work well each flaw,
Boldness dare start.
Use talent well,
Be humble then;
Discern the tell,
Know where and when.
Be like bamboo
That sways in storm;
It's up to you
To form your norms.
Sages have shown
The way of flow;
Make unknown known
As purpose shows.
Let heart be light
In sway and surge;
Let love give sight
In precious urge.
Style a sure wit
To take you far;
Be beyond hits
That seem to mar.
Work the new day
In simple ease;
Look for kind ways
To live true peace.
