Ancestral Wu Awaits Global Taoist Transformation
Ancestral Wu Awaits World-Wide Taoist Transformation
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
The
ancient Wu
Mediated on high
Under starry
skies
Balanced the turning
Cosmos in primal
voice
Spun round in rhythmic
Gyrations
Stomped
earth
Danced entranced
Called forth cleansing
rain
Healing rituals birth passed
Into
pained
Longing before death
Lingered the Wu’s
mysterious
Intercessions perplexed
The
uninitiated
Misunderstood
He knew
The realm of
energy
Within bodies
Shapes and inner functions
Fecund growth
Transformed spring
Into
harvest
Clouds brushed
Forested mountains
Floated
and spread
Into ocean pulsations
As impulses
heightened
Transcendent
Rhythms called
Shen
heart-mind
In balance until silent
Waiting
The
moon
Grew golden
Above the water
As the Wu
watched
In wonder life evolved
Yet remained constant
Beneath the ancient
sky
ENDS
