will it be kindly received?

Huan / Dissolution
Wind carries the Mists aloft:
sage rulers dedicated their lives
to serving a Higher Power
and built temples that still endure.

Walls meant to protect
have instead separated and isolated.

Defenses have kept us apart from
those whom we most need to touch.

Whatever the reason
for discord between us,
it is time to lay down arms.

We dispel the inflexible demands
and fears of the Mind
so that we may reunite in the Heart.

If we have begrudged, we now forgive.
If we have torn down, we repair.
If we have injured, we heal.
If we have judged, we pardon.
If we have grasped, we let go.

Ego dissolves and
the void is filled with Self.  
No more fear and frustration

when we give aid with the strength
and stamina of a horse.

Gentle Restraint
Winds of change high in the Heavens:
Air currents carry the weather.
Dense clouds blow in from the West,
but still no rain.

I fine tune my image.

No matter what I do,
the fruit of my labors never seems to ripen.

My reward remains just out of reach
but I won't lunge for the brass ring.

While the Fates continue to restrain,
I display self-generated restraint,
looking for the humor in the situation.
