Weigh us down in life
Without us knowing
They ground us to the stream
And change the waters course
Without these little pebbles
The water would run freely
Clear from the impurities
That keep us from having balance
And refrain us from truly understanding
To flow as a free stream
We must release the excess
As said in the Tao,
“Stop thinking, and end your problems.”
We must stop our constant thinking
That weighs us down like pebbles
Only after this we can be like the Tao
“drift like a wave on the ocean”
“blow as aimless as the wind”
and most importantly
flow freely
Love how you inserted lines from the original poem, really added to your poem. love
