TAI CHI teaches she

TAI CHI teaches she /
me and he said of she / each
of thee – heeds and feeds off
of chi / they’re her seed /
water thee of their need *
Appeasing pleas on bended
knees / so at ease / tired weeds by
scattered trees. Can we perceive
of nature’s need?
Yes indeed /
let’s receive of Mother Earth;
tell me how? This is how / energy flows
then it grows / in forms of spiritual force
/ there’s your source! See the river’s
force / and how it roars and soars *
through its waves and misbehaving
tidal waves. “Find your way” within
movement / like a wave. Those raves
and rage are childish ways; act
your age.
In center stage / she
takes her place / from a cage my
eyes engage /
am I at age to amaze / see the
sage in this page coming strange.
Let’s exchange.
Storage Mind – Peace of Mind
* Harmony *
Stand peacefully / breathe easily
movements slowly
sluggish be in-flexibility / finding ability
you can achieve of tai*chi. Poetry /
new name given me / I am he / writing
thee/ spitting this modernizing chosen
rhymes-scripted and odd at times / come
to find when I combine words in mind / they
are twisting yet existing / body shifting /
hands uplifting / yet connecting within
bending and extending / that’s my
—ending—
