The collector of lost souls,
compassionate dragon ,
came to clean up
disorder's night
and trouble of hours ...
Delicate scent of tea
and floral unguents ,
waft from the stores ,
well manered passers-by
greet each other ,so politly !
What a great feeling of security
in the Kensington district !
In the rising sun,beautiful and smiling
girls walk, sometime speaking
the dialect of ancient philadelphians ,
they go to the park to study ideograms,
and under the benevolant gaze
of the beloved great Buddha ,
perform a few tai chi movements !
Roses and orchids foraged by bees,
disciplined and faithful servants ,
perfume the sweetness of a new dawn
in Kensington !

Dear poet, this is breathtakingly beautiful! Rich in imagery and playing upon the senses, it evokes peace and such happiness. Thank you!
Do you know the infamous district of Kensington in Philadelphia ?
There's a double standard ...
I'm afraid I didn't, but I just googled it , and I see the idouble standard. So beauty turns to sadness for the reality of what is. Thank you for steering me in the right direction, I had no idea.
I must confess that I have been inspired by the very zen style of our friend kinsley lee !
I had no idea what Kensington you were talking about - but following Bella's model I googled. Seems some gentrification is going on, so those inhabitants who make it such a lively area will have to move on........ Your piece can be easily adjusted and move with them....!!
Consider the sarcastic aspect of my piece ! "Kong sing tan 2050 ! ''
My mind architecture is, I believe very different from yours - I retire defeated!
