What is that you contemplate
As the crowds go passing through?
You lie in gilded splendor,
With nothing else to do.
Is there meaning to your dreamy face.
Could it be nirvana near?
Can you hear the faithful praying,
As they bow before you here?
Though you lie alone, Wat Po is filled,
With Buddhas large and small,
A thousand other figures here,
So you are not alone at all.
Your surroundings are exotic,
Chedi graceful and serene,
A vast temple of great beauty,
A never forgotten scene.
