I.
yielding
before the onslaught
of high tide
bearing yin
this bow
II.
grasping
fresh soil after
the thaw
holding yang
this lunge
III.
being
atop the peak
in the wind
beyond bearing and holding
this oneness

beautifully done Frank especially the metaphor of yin/bow; yang/lunge
– but could you find a way to make the poem as three distinct stanzas as per the prompt?

Thanks, Laura. I used spacers to seperate the stanzas. If that’s not clear to readers, I can add Roman Numeral headings. Will that work?

A wonderful flowing of yin, yang and oneness. The last one reminded me of an autumn hiking trip I took up the peak of a mountain. It was windy at the top but, there was a strong sense of oneness.
