Symmetry can not be taught
It is not something that we can observe
It flows through all things, fueling the world
Everything has a mirror in the world
A parallel image
This is stability
Ying has a Yang
A sea has a fire
Schoolwork has fun
Without this balance
There are only two alternatives
Too much light will burn you up
Too much darkness and you will lose yourself in it
The Tao holds light in one hand, and dark in the other
The mortal world must be equal
Without balance, there is no world
I like how you broke up your stanzas into specific examples and explanations. I think that the line breaks were a creative use of the elements of the Taoism poems that made your poem more powerful.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you listed multiple examples of balance and I also really like how your first stanza and last both had to do with the world. I also like how you wrote about what would happen if there was no symmetry and you compare what it is like with it and how much it affects our world.
