[MD] Tao through intellect...

[Case]

[Marsha]
p.s.   Can't some of you brainiacs put your intellects aside for a 
few moments and add to the Poetry thread?

[Case]
I am not allowed to play unsupervised. But here is a bit of Taoist doggerel
for you...


Strokes of lightning 
Slash the skies
In their flash
The darkness dies

The fracture lines
Of time and fate
Inscribe the shape
Of love and hate

A coin in spin
Head chasing tails
To see that other side.
It fails

When things don't cleave
They shatter
All the pieces scatter
Distinctions that should matter
Blend in gray

Facets twitch
And twinkle
Perspective shifts
In every wrinkle

Edges that define 
Dissolve upon a touch
In or out's the question.
Does it matter much?

Each tick
Each tock
All rhythms
Mock

Such things don't cleave
They shatter
All the pieces scatter
Distinctions that should matter
Turn to gray

And yet 
In every spot of gray
We see that white and black
Still play.
