China's passage darkened from

culture bearers to builders of

demise and dreamless days.

Torches once raised inside a

reign of triumphant light

reduced to a flicker of its

origins...

á

Another sky unfolding anew,

far beyond any fragments

before. Maligned, where now

magnificent, immeasurable;

horizons widest upon dawns

only fraction such splendour

and momentum!

á

Culture bearers again becoming

builders of triumphant light.

á

Zhen, Shan, Ren.
