Tai Chi Mind

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.
