New Journeys to the West
St. Paul's Co-educational College Primary School, Lo, Man Yi Kristin - 10
It had been a long long journey
spanning many many years.
The young monk climbed many mountains,
in a quest for the light of truth and the wisdom fountain.
In the lonely desert, he had many dreams.
His magical disciples, followed him everywhere as a team.
They fought monsters, subdued evils and illuminated dark
hollows along their paths.
Finally, the young monk woke up from his dream and saw the vinetrees.
Where Buddha once sat and where Nalanda gleamed.
His loyal disciples bowed goodbye.
But the divine power of Hanuman soared high.
The end of one journey opened the door to another.
Fulfilled and eternally blessed.
