\n

I will melt at the flash point
of simplicity
until my mind
evaporates
into mist<\/p>\n

I will meditate on the blessings
of light
until my eyes
can see God
through the shadows<\/p>\n

I will trust in the process
of Tao
until water
grows calm
in the river<\/p>\n

I will seek the true depths
of faith
until conflict
holds no sway
in my heart<\/p>\n

I will drift along the pathway
of memories
until wisdom
resurrects
all your teachings<\/p>\n

I will sit through the swelter
of summer
until autumn
claims the season
with new color<\/p>\n
