Poem Artwork

The straight Path has no obstacles on its way,

But men strive to swerve from it by all means

Available for them. Going this or that bypath,

They do it as if their godsends. It seems that

People do not want to live beyond hierarchies

And preferences. Only when unchained from

Any benevolence and justice, love and hatred,

The Path reveals itself without concealment.

Once tiny deviation set Heaven and Earth apart,

Then the gapping between two opposed entities

Would not be overcome throughout the eternity.

So, if you wish to see that gap by your own eyes,

Get no fixed ideas or thoughts, either for or against

All standards. And this is the point of full integration

With the heavenly tracing and its earthly implementation.

Whether we want to or not it seems quite easy to get off track.

You have got a good point, the straight path (the middle way between extremes) is there for the taking, yet so few actually want to, prefering "opposing entities" that run through eternity. A good piece of advice, centered right in the middle of the poem. John
