the breeze carries
the scent of peach trees and incense,
the sound of chanting from far-away.
Granite-and-gold, multi-tiered temples
float on clouds as big as mountains.

Near the splendor of the palace,
I stroll with perfect pace and balance,
adorned in a lotus-shaped
headdress of pearls and silver.
My flute tastes like ginger and lychee
as I play a tune.
Reality cloaked in haze,
my meditation births
the essence of yin and yang.

A beautiful sunrise can only be reaped from beautiful dreams.
