Still River and Nameless

Nameless ( a poem in the park)

“The Tao is always Nameless

Sometimes I think that I,
too would give up my name
to  fade into the  Mesh.

A  rock gray Stream
sparkling through humid Air
faintly touching  Ash  Trees
housing hidden Cicadas
singing to one and other
winged Red Breast takes advantage of all
And I sit a nameless content witness
to the surrounding Nameless
.

“The Tao is always nameless”. -Lao tsu

    • Thanks for your comment, Samantha…
      I was going for a sterile and calm mood and imagery, in this one.
      Hope it worked!
