There are no Differences Between Things - Part 2 of 2

A poem about the Tao Te Ching and Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.

(no two things are far apart
all wise and unwise quiet fart
no good things end until they start)
And neither shall this poem: 

Last night, I read the Tao Te Ching,
And noticed something interesting.

Ecclesiastes came to mind, as 
I read these fascinating lines: 

        (from Tao Te Ching - XXIX) 
        Just as you breathe in and breathe out,
        there is a time for being ahead
        and a time for being behind.
        A time for being in motion
        and a time for being at rest.
        A time for being vigorous 
        and a time for being exhausted. 
        A time for being safe
        and a time for being in danger.

So no two good things stay apart!
The wise across time share a heart 
Between them

But then 
I realized I was reading it in English.
(the translator uses bible language 
every time he understands a line
and every time he doesn’t) 

I consult another version,
And high and be let go:

        (from Tao Te Ching - XXIX, trans. James Legge) 
        The course and nature of things is such that
        What was in front is now behind;
        What warmed anon we freezing find.
        Strengths of weakness oft the spoil;
        The store in ruins mocks our toil.

I don't yet know
No words I haven't read. 
The Byrds have souls but
Haven't lived in Lao Tzu's 
Gentle head, so different 
From the one I have instead. 

So several day long loveless malaises
(have gone and) 
Overcame my window-pane-touched
Human brain such that I felt shame 
To think so much was same, (so same),
Could be exchanged like gain for pain  
(cause) 
Space without change would be so lame, so 
I dejectedly sang the following phrase (bro):

[to the tune of It's the Hard-Knock Life:] 

There are no sim - ilarities between the 
Tao Te Ching - and Ecclesiastes
There are no sim - ilarities between 
Any of earth - 's eclectic happenings. 

Except for some of the ones
Under the sun.
