(In Reply to John's Excellent Title Challenge)
Old Master ‘Lao’ Confucius say, stripped him bare of prideful ways In leading from the front step back and let the people bask in glow Desires too numerous therein, in truth demeaning all his days A thoughtful contemplation gained, in stillness of the life we know
The way that can be told is not the way as such expressed in time Confront the beast at source with pure and simple steps of real intent Of nature’s course in strolling gait, upon completion so divine Our singing souls cry out resounding in sweet manifest lament
Power lies not in the strength of others, but in thee alone Deep within the answer hides, in seeking self and knowing one The genus of the bloom aspires to take your breath away full grown If I let go of what I am, imagine what I may become

Note: Poem loosely based on the Quotes of Master "Lao Tzu"
