Awakening
by mike yuan
as a stony statue
sitting still under a tremendous tree
my inner self fallen into a deep doze
while i travel around all the time
trying to find the right path
through the thorny bushes
leading to the hill top
a large flock of nameless birds
held in their unsinging mouths
a hundred rainbow flowers
following me in the smiling sky
as if to escort my journey home
or ready to celebrate my birthday
the second i see my naked self
all the birds and flowers are gone
except the big shadowless tree
standing against the serenity of skies
