THE WEAVE:

…Lilith keeps speaking…

"When I had Nothing,
I had the Tao,
and it was enough.

Now, I have things,
and nothing is enough,
and the Tao feels far

a Way, like the inner
reaches of outer-space.
How does One live

on the inside, and the out
-side of things?
It is not Time

to let go, again,
like the maple leaf.
I am more like the oak

petal- Brown and brittle,
and being clung to
by the branch.  Though I

have tried to pass
through another season,
it is not Time."
