22 of 81, Poems from the Tao, Spoken Word by Pryde Foltz


22 of 81

The internal foe
Is a born competitor

Wanting to be first
It is always behind

By desiring all
It remains incomplete

Looking to become full
Through acquiring
It remains empty

It strives for eternal life
Resists rebirth

The master knows
All comes from the Tao
There is no competing with all
Understanding this
The master always has a place

With no ends in mind
He speaks only the truth

Serving only the Tao
The Tao does not fail
The master does not fail

Into each moment
He is reborn
He exists in all
All exists in him
The master is truly himself
