After trying many years, and then
impoverished, I found the fountain of delight
it is an inner wealth, splendid wife
a seed divine, that glows with inner-harmony
it is the returning Tao, life’s estate
when beauty and love’s metaphors
lay dormant, pregnant, knowing, intrinsic –
Oh my beloved nature’s like that too
after many trying years, and then
my mind fell silent and no longer says
that desire or pain have any place to stay
only a smiling surrender, of the triumphant way.
