Suspended high above lays a golden palace governed by a king and queen. |

Yet falling short of Compassion,
A call to raise myself again. |

All that you need, you have already found. |

You are looking with both eyes closed
Awaken, and the truth will be known. |

Captured before a moment’s collide. |

Coloured above waters of grey.
Clouded skies to new horizons hold
The promise of peace someday. |

Seeing the waves and turbulent waters,
And going forward,
Knowing that the ride will be rough. |

To beckon truth, weave compassion into every page
So others too may bear witness to that
Which alights the quill and more! |

the veiled eye... |

| Poems from Prison [23.10.2003] |
I was sent to the detention centre because of my belief and my conscience. A prisoner who had been sentenced to death asked me, "If you are right and kind, why were you sent here? Don't you talk about retribution?" I then wrote the following poem. |

| Poem: The Wheel of Justice is Turning [14.10.2003] |
Falun Gong is subject to slandering,
Soon the wheel of justice begins turning.
Lies are spread like poison through China’s land,
Yet, the lie-breeders feel no reprimand.Slowly, the wheel of justice is turning.
People for plain decency are yearning,
Using only peaceful means to speak truth,
Like a mother her child trying to soothe. |

A person who does not tell lies to seek interests
A person who does not bear grudges against others' faults, and treats everything with compassion. |

| Poem: The Master’s Tears [10.10.2003] |
I stood on the beach looking out to sea
The waves gently lapped at the shore,
The early morning sky painted in soft pale blue and pink.
To my surprise a sailing boat appeared on the horizon.
First a dot and then in just a moment it had almost reached where I was. |
|

| Poem: Within Calm’s Deep Silence [08.10.2003] |

Within calm’s deep silence, words of Gods can sound;
Without man’s dark notions, thinking’s realm is bright,
Beyond man’s base clamour, Heaven’s voice is found." |

A time when awakening
Summons every heart,
A stretch of consciousness
Further than the widest eye. |

Drowning in his twisted ropes of hopes and past regrets..." |
