Yield

 

We've but to yield

such as the universe

bend and survive

Softness

 

Softness will level the world

Nowhere to go

Perfection seems lacking

leaving nowhere to go
 

Hunger

Blinded by hunger

judgment suffers
 

Words and Deeds

 

There's a space

between heaven and hell

where the children hide

parents destroying each other

with words and deeds

Benevolent

 

Benevolent not is the world around us,

our peace comes from within

Lost Time

No lutes played

yet we marched

going from here to there

some seeking happiness

wealth and fame too

trotting along

unaware of the trip

time lost in steps
 

Heaven and Earth

We try to move heaven and earth to find our way

when it can be found in simple stillness
 

Flow

Follow the flow and arrive
 

Nowhere to go

Lost in the noise

we go nowhere
 

Reaching Out

We reach out

trying to find a connection

an understanding to be found
 

Masked

Masked

we hide from ourselves

and the world does too
 

Onions

Discovery is more than waiting

below each layer

you'll find another

waiting to be revealed

 

No Arriving

There is no arriving

 

Nothing in the end

The miles we cross

nothing in the end

delusions we live within
 

Hit

If you stand in the road

expect getting hit 
 

Simple Things

 

Simple things require no explanation

Possessions

 

Possessions are things we waste our time on,

and yet they take us nowhere

Unhappy

 

We're not happy,

unless we're unhappy

No Return

 

There is no coming back

Their Part

The mountain stands,

The water flows...

each has a part,

as do we all...

 

Empty

 

Empty is the realm of humanity

Danger

The road oft traveled

is fraught with danger
 

Misleading

The truth stands alone

as we mislead ourselves
 

Nothing will prevail

Nothing will prevail

when our aspirations die
 

Nothing and Something

Nothing and something,

same idea....
 

Who hears it

What you say

matters as much

as who hears it
 

Our World

 

Our world an illusion

inside and out

up or down

back and forth

Before

 

Simple times enjoyed...

before government

took them away

Perception and Reality

Perception and Reality

twisted versions of each other
 

Share it

Joy shared is joy multiplied
