one of many paths of the tao

in the center 
there is a sun 
what revolves 
is the planets 
each sees
the sun from far 
and near - elliptical paths 
once thought 
the path circular - once thought 
the very land lived on was flat 

if we stay perfectly still 
we are not - if a call comes in and we don't answer 
the call itself resolves our thought - are we thought of

still 

how many words are enough to create a path 
perhaps that is why 
we smile 
at end 
rhymes, 
lift our head 
to the internal, 
and those slant: imperfect rhymes add life 

a rich
rhyme subjects
the mind's eye - to time
we hurdle threw
in silence
we stop 
and tunnel thru
