Taotalk is a forum for the discussion of both the academic and pragmatic aspects of dao and Daoism, with participants expressing themselves on Daoist writings and pragmatics from their unique perspectives. It serves as a community for Daoists, and those interested in Daoism, to gather and talk dao.
I read this beautiful poem by Goutam Dutta and knew I wanted to share it.
Up early at dusk The baton of light is passed Harvest moon in sky. Farmer’s smile, brighter than moon Reaped crop, they carry home. Copyright @ Goutam Dutta

I’ve not heard of Goutam Dutta. Looked him up and am drawn to the titles of other poems:
A Lazy Goan Afternoon on the Beach, Changing Moods, At Night-Death Comes Steadily….
(I had to look up Goan, which is a person for Goa, India, but you probably already knew that, but I didn’t) 🙂
But the poem…mmm. “Up early at dusk”….
At first I was confused, ’cause we get up at dawn, then I realized it was the moon. Mmm…
