China Group 2: Buddhist Statues & a Poem

Left behind Relics of a time long ago 

Left to watch the Yi River flow

Set in stone and preserved through time

These Buddhist statues carved from lime

 

Resting Between the peaks of Xiang and Longmen

A peaceful setting that inspires inner zen

 

With hundreds of people passing me by

All cherishing these relics as they slowly erode and die.
