Ode To Taoism Poem by Cynthia Yildirim

I
Old ancient religion of
Yin and Yang
Good and evil intermingle
The way is found in this
II
Lao Tzu ye read and ponder
Analyzing unknown artisans
III
Harmony in nature
Synchronization of self
Reverence in duty
Discipline essential
IV
Pray ye gentlemen
Meditate and diet
Breathe a calculated breath
Recite one by one
Remember what ye remember
Forget what ye forget
V
View the painted landscape
It is your nirvana
Your escape from this word
Of suffering
VI
Follow your way
The good way
The just way
The set path
The middle path
Till ye are satisfied
