THE CONTEMPLATION ON THE SPIRIT OF A GOOD PERSON

 

THE CONTEMPLATION ON THE SPIRIT OF A GOOD PERSON

(A poem of natural wisdom)

 

 

A good person

 

is merely

 

an

 

ordinary

 

person

 

 

 

The same

 

ordinary person

 

as you

 

as I

 

as him

 

 

 

A good person

 

is not great

 

but the spirit

 

she holds

 

is nevertheless

 

infinite

 

 

 

A good person

 

is also

 

a

 

great person

 

 

 

A great person who is different

 

than you

 

than I

 

than him

 

 

 

A good person is great

 

because

 

she acts

 

by

 

good-approaching

 

selflessness

 

great love

 

sacrifice

SCREAMS

 

 

SCREAMS

(A poem of natural wisdom)

 

 

Neon lights shine upon

 

exotic clothes

 

 

Heavy make-up tags along with

 

mad dances

 

 

Clamors, with

 

screams

 

 

Does not conceal

 

the mind’s

 

loss

EDUCATING ONESELF, MORAL VIRTUES REVEALED

 

 

EDUCATING ONESELF, MORAL VIRTUES REVEALED

(A poem of natural wisdom)

 

Educating oneself, moral virtues revealed

 

How many are enlightened, how many realized

 

Establish morals, raise humans: sturdy sprouts

 

Raindrops for societies, schools, families

FOUR VERSES INSCRIPTION OF EDUCATION OF NATURAL MORAL WISDOM

I NATURALLY LOVE

 

 

I NATURALLY LOVE

 

(A poem of natural moral wisdom)

 

 

I

 

am a white cloud

 

light, pure

 

embroidered in

 

the blue sky’s charming dress

 

 

I

 

am a white cloud

 

bathing under

 

the golden

 

warm sunshine

 

 

I

 

am a white cloud

 

looking down

 

on the extensive, boundless

 

land

 

 

 

I

 

am a white cloud

 

my elegant

 

body

 

kissing

 

the curvy silver-ribbon

 

running river

 

 

 

The spring breeze

 

gently pulls

 

and pushes me

 

toward the blue and vast

 

sea

 

 

 

Over there, the soft bed

 

is where I originally belong

 

 

 

The blue sky, the sea

 

 

 

The grand earth, the sun

 

 

 

Tears shed

 

upon return,

 

I naturally

 

love

 

 

 

Forever

 

lasting

THOUGHTS ABOUT DEATH BROUGHT BY OVER-WORK

 

THOUGHTS ABOUT DEATH CAUSED BY OVER-WORK

(A poem of natural moral wisdom)

 

The energy of a human body, far from limitless

The size of a human heart, a far distance

When a human body is able to carry ninety-nine pounds,

A human heart shall not hold a burden of a thousand

The value of life is rooted upon appropriateness

Comparing others with one’s own desire, illusionary fantasy

Wisdom intelligence does not reveal, a heart demon is rampant

Illuminate Tao, understand Te, a heroic folk

 

By Shanlin-Tzu

RAIN

 

RAIN

(A poem of natural moral wisdom)

 

Fine rain is bathing melting snow

Breeze sends warmth, spring comes

Swallows return, rosy clouds circle around

Hiding sprouts long for moistening, green
