Cinquain inspired by Lao Tzu~ in a piece found in "The Tao Ching" ("The Book of Changes")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"...But if desire always within us be, Its outer fringe is all that we shall see."
Lao Tzu~


~~~~~~



clouded
with desire to
sound, perhaps?-- as one does
not, cannot... matters not. wisdom
clears, calms...

dear "ugu"...
a "cinquain" is a poem, it follows a form, syllabic...if you don't care for it, it is alright...
It is not the best of pieces, poems, but...it is a poem...
If you, however truly can offer help w/writing poetry...or would like to tell me what kind you like, well, please contact me, okay? thanks...m.

Beautiful. Lao-Tzu also wrote:

"There is no need to run outside
For better seeing
Nor to peer from a window
Rather abide
At the center of your being
For the more you leave it, the less you learn
Search your heart and see
If he is wise who takes each turn:
The way to do is to be.

And you did well, indeed. [smiles]
