The Qigong master unfolds
A brief history of standing
And I see in the mirror
My feet drink the floor.
The brief history of standing
Unfolds a vertical man
And my feet drink the floor
Rooting into stone.
The unfolded man asks
Am I worthy today?
Questions like stones
Root in my heart.
Am I worthy today
To follow the master?
I see in the mirror
My long history of stones.
Love elephant and want to go steady?
