Best Tao Poems
Meet the friendly capybara
Rodent large without a care, a
Chill companion, friend to all, for
Clearing any gloomy pall
Sitting still or hanging out, with
Capybara social clout, a
Being present in the now, who
Effortlessly lives the Tao
Showing up and just to be, in
Any opportunity, a
Doing by no action seen, this
Caviidae is deftly keen
Always ready to relate, to
One who’s discombobulate, a
Silent empathy it shares, our
Wordless friend who capybares
In macroeconomics
we express mutual namaste
for robust ecotherapeutic global climate wealth trends
co-arising
microeconomic bio-ego-logical WinWin cooperative
health-care optimization theories.
Restoring macro-global cooperative wealth
without retributive individual micro-ecological loss
of resilient wealthy Yang/Yin bilaterally co-intelligent
eco/neuro-logical healthy wealth.
Matagal na panahong minimithi ni ina,
Tinataglay na kabutihan sa aking mata
Kailan sa akin ang iba'y makikisama
Kung wlang kabutihan akong pinapakita
Kahit ang sarili ko'y 'di ko rin nakikilala
Sino npa ba ang iba, at ano rin ba sila?
Dito sa puso ko sila'y ibang-iba
Hindi ko akalain kaibigan ko pala!
Hindi ko nakitang sila'y aking karamay
Sa lahat ng oras sila'y aking kaagapay
At sa bawat araw na sila'y masisilayan
Kapanatagan nga ba aking madarama?
Sino nga ba ako at bakit naging ganito?
Lahat kinalimutan pati Panginoon ko!
Wala kahit tawag na sa kanya'y ipinukol
at sa aking sarili lahat iniuukol!
Dumating ng araw ng 'di ko inaasahan
Na aking malalaman taglay na kabutihan
Sa lugar na iyon iba't ibang natutunan
Nalaman ko rin marami akong kaibigan!
Ako bilang tao'y may kakayahan din pala
Gawin ang nararapat kahit nagkamali na
O, kay buti talaga na sa ati'y naglalang
At sa mundong nilikha tayo'y kanyang nilalang
At sa bawat araw na patuloy lumilipas
Maraming kaalaman sa aki'y nakatatak
At 'di na maiwawaksi ng kahit sino pa man!
At lahat ng ito ay sadya ng nakalaan!
Yang: What is the difference between a theist and an atheist?
Yin: A bicamerally balancing ego/eco-teleologist.
Yang: Well, so what's that; a teleologist?
Yin: You, if you believe the Earth is your co-gravitational
(0)-double-binding mind-spirit/body-nature center
epi-center
of wealthy egonomic
and healthy ecopolitical values,
each with equi-valent
ego/ecological
transgenerational health-care
deep wealth meaning merit.
Yang: So, who wouldn't believe that?
Yin: Probably no one.
Yang: So, why, exactly, is this an issue I need to look at right now?
Yin: Because, if you are an ecological panentheist,
then you are also a (0)-interest
co-invested bodhisattva peace warrior
poli-economist,
presumably.
Yang: Wow, I really did not see that climax coming at all!
Yintegrity: Yes, well, I get that all mind/body bipartisan time.

YinPower: Don't rush, reframe our collateral flow issues,

nondual crown/rooted

respirating EarthNature's
dipolar teleological appositions.
YangLight: You flow on too darkly rooted much
for optimally repurposed fire-power.
YinPower: Invest less in competing economic partial-trusts
and politically disharmonic insufficiency
of loving sacred beauty.
Instead,
invest in repurposing
every co-engaging
meaning-full
experiential expedition
only where your economic health flows out
our cooperative climatic inflow
of politically multicultural wealth.
YangMind: Ah, yes,
I see
our MidWay Zen
mutual reflection again,
where my Tao wealth
caressingly embraces your cooperative health
of coarising egomind/ecobody-engagement
Right purposeful proportion,
eco-dominant meaningful balance,
light's radiant fractal frequencies
of regenerative logos-dawn/mythos-dusk
Yang/yin

appositional boundaries of co-balancing light
and prime co-relational powers.
YinPower: And you think I flow out too much feeling!
“Cannot be named
Cannot be found,”
For in this effort--this person
Into non-Tao becomes wound.
The Tao was before time’s beginning.
The Tao is not found in complex systems,
But is revealed by listening to the heart,
To the oneness of all living things,
The honoring of all beings.
There is the start!
For the Tao has been
Endowed by nature to all.
Therefore, no need for grasping.
The Tao is to be found
In the silence between breaths,
By seals in the waves
Jumping in play,
By a caring hand on a
Fevered brow, there is the Way.
Father Merton wonders
Did St Francis join with the Tao,
And the Buddha sitting under the Bodhi tree
Who showed
A way to end suffering
Brought on by attachment to anger,
Delusion and greed.
Thus the way of Tao, simplicity,
Release attachment to things.
The Tao has been called “Mother
Of all Truth and Life.”
This humble person must stop
For all this explaining is non-Tao
So she will stop
She will stop right NOW!
Referenced in many ways: “The Way of Chuang Tzu” by Thomas Merton.
We are born remembering
DNA's sacred syntax,
cryptic receipts with multigenerational redemption value,
to redeem integrity through this incarnation's
fully functional root and crown potential
For ecological
politically co-intelligent
co-operative economic practice
with polyculturally unconditional intent
Mutual subsidiarity of peace
compassioning just rightness
declared only through solidarity
in co-prehensive
leftbrain consciousness.
Who are these would be CoRedemptive Mentors
stalking my multi-regenerational mirror?
Tempted by good and evil
I reconnect MotherEarth's suffering
to monotheistic FatherSun's not listening,
steadfastly ambivalent feelings
ambidextrously languaged
Riding Time's enculturing edge
flying forward for hope of better
stronger
surer lasting light,
fleeting backward darkening doubtful powers
to change what I cannot compassionately tolerate
to fulfill EarthJustice commitments together
as we might
were Anthros not a lone Redeemer
anti-hero monoculture
Prophets without sufficient Time
for holy spirit's embryonic forms
flowing full-natured unction.
This present makes a safer home
than future's pregnant womb
or past's enslaving RoyalAnthro tomb
severing analogical revolutions
apart
rather than preserving integrity's resolutions
together.
Double-bound
stigmatic
messiah wounds
Breathing in Earth's first breath
while dying out Ego's already last,
stifling my victorious solo shout
"not yet...not yet" out
My mythic time
portends mystery's co-redeeming climax
without embracing Beloved EarthTribe's
sacred sensory resonance.
Redeemer musing Heart
mediating fragile warring Mind
against unwisely breaking Body,
our Trinitarian Teleology
As messianic restitution
perpetually rides
Earth's suffering surf
of almost pregnant paradise.
The state of flow, eternal Tao
Dance in the ephemeral now
A Bound mind will not allow
A Joyous downward plow
Soft snow, honored thou
Its own meaning endow
Feet atop sacred bough
Snow cut by skis’ prow
Let me show you how
4/5/16
Chi eats the body.
Even starving it still has food.
Then graves feed the earth.

If I became a pronoia non-schizophrenic

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

I am Magma.
I am of the Earth, created in a furnace that I did not ignite.
I am found at mountaintops and ocean depths,
Hot springs and black smokers.
The furnace at my core is my guide.
It generates the Force through which I flow,
Uniting me with the Earth, Its Beings, and myself.
It thrums in me, forcing me forward.
Sporadically I spew forth in great, frothy flumes.
Most often I ooze, ever up and out and back upon myself,
Recreating my features, my history, my gifts.
I am becoming an island,
A place to visit and sing songs of celebration or lamentation.
With sheltering places to heal and hope,
And salty, sugar beaches to dance upon and shout in joy.
Some may come, simply to hear my song.
My duty is to be here – vibrating, shifting, yielding, demanding,
Yet always here, welcoming my visitors.
Listening to the sighs and songs of spirits,
Acknowledging the teardrop and the raindrop,
Making way through the mantle, that others may find their way.
Beginning an archipelago of Spirit, a landmark of Honor,
Where travelers find Succor, Enrichment, and Love.
Pebbles
Thoughts are merely pebbles
Being gently washed by a passing stream.
You are the stream.
Thoughts are merely pebbles on a beach
Being gently rounded by crashing waves.
You are the waves.
Thoughts are merely pebbles in the sand.
Being gently worn by the passing wind.
You are the wind
My words can escape on.
Words are merely thoughts
Being gently read by a passing eye.
Yours are the eyes
That can read my thoughts.
