yielding lets you last |
bending you can stand up again |
emptying you can become full |
aging you find yourself renewed |
| poverty brings peculiar wealth |
riches draw down curses |
|||
| the
wise embrace the void, becoming |
models for the whole world |
|||
| free of show they glow |
free of self-righteousness they become famous |
free of bragging they are acclaimed |
free of complacency they become superior |
|
| the old folks had good reason to say |
yielding lets you last |
coming back still completely alive |
