Shanghai Monk

I am
in the middle
of meditation
in lotus position
I am
the reason
for you to leave me
Solitude
the big opera of God
a poets reward
You are
the unspoken complicated words
dancing far away
only dust and smoke
(Evolution pollution)
is on the way
and remembers
Big destiny waves
no one here
to see now
what I feel
I am a
Shanghai monk
in orange pajamas
standing in the air

Wow! This is brilliant for me. "Solitude / the big opera of God / a poets reward". I want to meditate on this. I want to write about it. I want to levitate like that Shanghai monk!
