The Tao is accepting, welcoming.
The Tao is an experience.
It’s when light meets dark,
It’s the feeling you feel when the world
becomes overshadowed by the chaos.
When you become overwhelmed
then the Tao will keep you company.
You wonder when will yin combine with yang and
when peace will be held.
We are chosen to accept the world for everything that it is
and most importantly isn't.
The world is broken yet the Tao
lets you accept it with your whole being.
Your eyes close shut and are immersed
in the Tao.
Very peaceful piece. It conveys a message of peace and balance throughout the world.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you described the Tao as being apart of the world and how it is what let's you accept it, even in its broken state. Also, the metaphors you used really brought your poem to life and made it really extraordinary.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you strongly incorporated the Tao, instead of leaving it subtle or nearly nonexistent. It really has a strong theme of the poems we read in class, and it's impressive that it feels so similar to something so professional and old.
ReplyDeleteI like how you really incorporated the Tao into the poem and enhanced it by elaborating on the theme. The image you chose is also really relevant to the poem.
