jade mountain

jade mountain

print on paper to report on the fantastic journey
the monkey sets east along the silk road to arrive in khotan
the realm of nephrite stretching beyond the horizons
dazed and confused by the vastness of the territories
hands off black jade evoking evil
bordering the great wall past the yellow river
the birthplace of alchemy

orient with a compass behind the bamboo curtain
a pilgrim on the secret path heading myanmar
the charm of jadeite in contrast to the dirty mining
overwhelmed by the power of assimilation
ancient bi-discs in relation to a contemporary dvd
a great leap forwards to integrate the cultural revolution
the elixir of immortality

qigong the seismograph to precognize the shake
drop ethnocentric prejudices and anthropocentric thoughts
the top of the holy mountain is clouded by mist
aware of vacuity be inspired by ingenuity
this is the axis mundi without doubt
we do walk through hell to reach the heavens
