Poisoned Oak X-I

I    
Oh man, for man you be not,    
yet live as such.    
   
Glad in joy, sorrowing pain.    
there are those who find sorrow and seek it in spades,    
what you shall seek is thy flame,    
knowing this you call it fate.    
   
II    
The mirror reflects, gently projects, that is,    
it accepts change, movement and all.    
   
Remember those who seek,    
what they find is themselves,    
meaning they be glad at sorrow end.    
   
III    
Like the river, changes with time,    
change always, but remain endless shifting eye to eye.    
   
You mean, change is bad for it does good,    
So you’re saying, to question and have reply, that is,    
“the map is not the territory” that changes with endless time.    
   
IV    
You cannot fail, for it means nothing,    
The lake creates, the butterfly swinging to the tides.    
   
Remember this in times of need,    
try another idea or belief.    
   
Changes happen, learn to keep it,    
fly upwards wings beating.    
   
V    
Know your goal, learn it well,    
live and breathe in it as well.    
   
Purpose should be left to dogs of reason,    
myths of man and those needing,    
specific appropriate establishing procedures.    
   
This is the end, you have been seeking,    
start it now or let it be.    
   
VI    
When it comes to pacing, speed,    
cunning along with time.    
   
Define a problem, gain insight,    
know the motives, breathe in and then out.    
   
What should be done, in this moment now?    
Fight or flight, fear or calm,    
nothing but balance with you now.    
   
Strike first with the mind,    
then move your body along with time,    
this lesson is simple, yet profound.    
   
VII    
Oh man, you thinkest fowl,    
Embrace the pain, you feel it now,    
What has caused this pain?      
   
Think back to the river and the butterfly,    
change your mind and body,    
slowly shift and listen loud.    
   
Now, part the space,    
raise the waters walk bold and proud,    
another self-righteous villain good with time.    
   
Recall another that caused this blight,    
a simple star shining in the night,    
defined by you and not another,    
long lost tales of a brother.    
   
VIII    
The star, the sun, the moon,    
the earth and other planets you have heard.    
   
Can you be as rich as they,    
what is that blocking your way, that is,    
why are you thinking this way?    
   
Many use stars to see their way,    
walking at night and also day,    
learning from what they eat, like and hate,    
change and mould themselves as rock or clay.    
   
IX    
I was happy once a time,    
now I am dancing with the goddess and drinking wine.    
   
I am glad,    
I was glad,    
I will be glad.    
   
Repeat again and again with time.    
   
Is this not what I say inside?    
Feeling sad all the time,    
thinking badly of her and I.    
   
X    
Oh man, this was but a test.    
   
Remember what you have learned and apply it then,    
not doing so you shall burn instead,    
bright and happy even then.
