China's Greatest Poet

China's Greatest Poet

Du Fu conjured magic beyond people like you and I,
'For long now I've been tainted by poetry and wine,
I long to hear of that prime principle,
to begin the first stage of mind cultivation.'

'With your golden scalpel cut the film from my eyes -
it will be worth more to me than a thousand gems.
with the law of no-birth drawig me upward,
perhaps with your help to reach that truth.'

We can all transpire irrespective, lift yourself
from degredation, you worry when there is no need,
the perfectionist caught out and what did you achieve?
your thoughts become disingenuous, that means most of us.

We met - he said; 'Their ignorance is not your loss,
in your culture, someone important was bearing a cross.'

Do you know if he's certain there's only one?

There's definitely someone special like that in every culture?

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...
