Wholeness
by Suzie Palmer → (All Poetry by Suzie Palmer)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Inspired by Chapter 22 of the Tao The Ching, Lao Tzu

‘Bend and you will remain whole’
Be unassuming and you will excel
By being empty, we will always be filled
Growing old, is to be renewed

Having little is to gain
Material surplus is in truth, weight
No need to justify, and one is known
No need to boast of ability, then one is shown
 
The essence of success is to endure
Competing with no one, no one competes with you
Curl like the Willow to be straight
Attaining wholeness is cause to celebrate
