Embrace The Nothing
By FearlessDragon
Balance lies in all creation
Creating the circle of duration
Duration is all by which we go
Futile are these...
Feeble attempts in search for inspiration
Inspiring only unoriginal agitation
Agitating the spirit of my flow
Discontent due to my lack of moderation
Moderation in patience leads to hesitation
Hesitating my progress to a slow
Seeking joy in immediate sensation
Senses contradict their simplistic intuition
Intuition lost has no eyes beyond the show
Knowledge too great causes vast confusion
Confusing the power of my volition
Volition misguided follows dead end roads
Lust for desire breeds manipulation
Manipulating action into procrastination
Procrastinating against its goal
Therefore...
Embrace the stillness of inaction
Inactive nature remains in motion
Motioning itself within the Tao
Mirror yourself in the moment,
Master the art of dying,
Embrace the nothing as your home

Thank you sweets :) ...I based this heavily on my Taoist beliefs. Its about flowing with life in an unforced manner. Being as nature so to speak.
