the great
way
spreads
broadly,
left and right
millions
cling to it
for life
and it doesn't
cast any off

Mt. Fuji
it does
its work
then relinquishes
ownership,
so passionless
it seems
small
it clothes
and feeds
us all,
yet doesn't
play king.
even when
we return to it
the way
doesn't try
to be
it realizes
it becomes
great
