fourteen – a Taoist Parable

dreamed I was
a butterfly at midnight
enchanted

by the glittering dark
like ancient Chuang Tzu
wondering what was real

in that famous
dream Chuang Tzu became
confused

did the butterfly also dream
she was Chuang Tzu?

if I dream
I’m a butterfly

at midnight
will I forget that once
I couldn’t fly?

am I the butterfly
or just a midnight dreamer
identity lost

in glamorous flight?
close my eyes and wonder

    I’m impressed, I must say. Really not often do I encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the problem is one thing that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very joyful that I stumbled across this in my search for one thing relating to this.

    What i don’t understood is actually how you are not really much more well-preferred than you may be now.

    You’re very intelligent. You already know thus significantly in the case of this subject, made
    me for my part believe it from numerous various angles.

    Your personal stuffs great. At all times handle it up!
