When everything was still nameless,
desire made secret pacts with the primal
darkness. From the unmanifest antithesis,
love was birthed as mystery – as the changeable
constant . What else can simultaneously
be both cause and consequence?

The short and long lines of love are a Tao indeed, as the poem–to and fro goes that Way.

I love the way the length of the lines spoke of the Way. Wasn’t intentional… but the Tao does have a way of making you write what it wants!! Thanks Brendan.

I love the compactness of your ‘little poem’ inspired by the Tao Te Ching, Rajani. You’ve woven your own special magic into the cosmos with ‘desire made secret pacts with the primal darkness’ and ‘love… as the changeable constant’.
