Born Under a Wandering Star *** The Eternal Way*** A Poem for TAO

“Who Am I? For I am a wandering star, that wanders between the near and far.. Always right in the middle, between ‘this’ and ‘that, but never am I ‘for’ or ‘against’ that..

For I wander alone amongst that stars, always moving and not moving at all.. I’m like the moon underneath the waves that ever go on rolling and rocking..

Unconcerned with the ‘how far’ and ‘where I am going to be’, it is the process that keeps me.. For I am not the experiencer, but the experience..

Voidness is the fire that burns brightly within my tail, without it, my existence wouldn’t prevail, yet I am devoid of all self consciousness..

The wandering star is the expression of my life that transcends both time and space.. For I think as though not thinking at all.. The shape I take formless and all..

For I do not run away, I let go.. For I do not seek.. It will come..

Such are my needs simple and all, complemented by the intricate complexities of them all..

Do not try to understand me, with all pre conceived notions of what should or should not be.. Devoid yourself next time you look up in the sky..

The Wandering Star that burns brightly ever so high***
