Arbitrary and Otherwise

playing in a field
of meaning
a created world of
making ends meet
ends that would
otherwise meet
all by themselves
given a trust in nature
a nature that is no-one
a nature that is everyone
a nature that is all
that ever shows up anywhere
a nature that
can not be but what it is
a nature that is one
the nameless Tao

can you control
what you hold dear?

even in the headlights
there's no helping help
it's there when you
reach out for it
and gone as soon
as you have
taken it seriously
