The Tao

The Tao creates all things
As light streams forth to fling


See the dual modes reveal
A harmony that fills


The push and pull of poles
First cause from a clear whole


Yin and Yang swirl and merge
In flights of sacred urge


The cosmic signs appear
To signal brief endear


Change is the way of light
That seeds the flow and flight


Here for a while in time
Let cheer play with stray rhymes


The Tao begins and starts
As Yin-Yang moves the heart


The journeys here on earth
Cause and create new mirth


When joy and grief embrace
Soul finds true peace in grace


No wants or needs to feed
Allow compassion seed
