Poem by Koon Woon
Have no fear of having nothing
Defined by one’s attributes or one’s possessions?
Have no fear of having nothing.
While one grows by extensions,
one does not augment by attachments.
Have no attachments, have no fears.
An onion is composed of many layers.
A tree is made up of branches.
Many rivers flow into the sea.
A man is the total of his influences.
This is by nature, have no worries.
The universe is composed of myriads of things.
A grain of sand can get you started.
Life is composed of things that die.
Death will finally complete the design.
This is natural progression, have no regrets.
Having everything will give you no standing room.
Therefore, have no fear of having nothing.
