Climbing

Harmony

It would be very different though

If You Were To Climb Up On The Way And Its Virtue

And Go Drifting And Wandering,
Neither Praised Nor Damned, Now A Dragon, Now A Snake,
Shifting w/ The Times, Never Willing To Hold To One Course Only.
Now Up, Now Down,

Taking Harmony For Your Measure,
Drifting And Wandering w/ The Ancestor Of The Ten Thousand Things,
Treating Things As Things But Not Letting Them Treat You As A Thing --

Then How Could You Get Into Any Trouble?
