Tu Fu

Tu Fu

The oldest soul to ever live
in the land of make-believe.
Drinking Dragon's Eye tea
from the pool of illusion.

One eye is the golden Sun,
the other the silver Moon.
Across a landscape of Jade mountains
and "drifting sand in the wind."

Disappearing in a storm
beyond the Island of the Immortals
to an abandoned temple.
A stone pillow for dreams.

A god of poetry--
older than words.
