The Tao is deep and beautiful
It’s hues soleil yellow and azure blue
Ring-of-fire volcanic red, fragrant tangerine
Amazonian jungle green and all in-between
It frees you of you
For it is the Tao
Time is the Tao’s motor
But only the mind can tell
Both giver and taker
Master and servant
Time makes men’s beards grow
And turns children into men
Mountains into sand
Seas into rain
And back again
The Tao is wild with delight
And calm as a breezeless day
Turns chaos into all things
And all things into disorder
Breaks what is fixed
And creates anew
For it is the Tao
If you’re not afraid of anything
When all is known
Then you’re home
For that is the Tao
Light is filtered by leaves of the tree
Like awareness filtered by thinking
Clear away the thoughts and you’re home
All happens
For that is the Tao
There is nothing that is not
And nothing unreal can be
For that is the Tao
