A Poem by Nan
"

inspired by the opening ceremonies

"


drummers- it is the heartbeat
of the people in every country
of the world

children- it is the heartbreak
of those who lost their young
in the land of one child

unity- it is the face of love
reaching beyond the needs of
those who believe they are leading

art- the vision of many becomes one
we ascend as illumined hearts

geisha- it is the need of love
asking beyond what is deemed
to rise even as witness
to the setting sun

tai chi- from the disciplined core
transcends a meaning from within

legacy- when the sun is kept in the heart
all evil vanishes from life

balance- strength remains beautiful
if not engaged to the point of fear

What is individualism other than oneness with self?
Would that the world could achieve it.
