Let yourself have a clear mind
The less you let your thoughts control you,
The more progress you will achieve
Follow only what you feel is right
Don’t push for an outcome you may not obtain
The harder you push the less you will receive
Follow only the Tao
For the master knows what is best
And always leads you down the right path
The Tao helps those who struggle when it comes to finding their way
The Tao helps you hush your mind enough to leave things be
The Tao helps to remind yourself to let things take their course
So follow the master
Follow the Tao
Follow what feels meant to be
I like how you included the master into your poem and talked about how he will lead you down the right path, which connects to the picture at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteI really like the line "The harder you push the less you will receive" because it represents the ideas of the Tao and the ideas in the poems we read extremely well.
ReplyDeleteI like how you expressed the main theme of the poem. I like the way it flows cohesively together
ReplyDeleteThis poem really looks like it could be in the Tao Te Ching!
