Who says
That it’s by my desire,
This separation, this living so far from you?
My dress still smells of the lavender you gave:
My hand still holds the letter that you sent.
Round my waist I wear a double sash:
I dream that it binds us both with a same-heart knot.
Did not you know that people hide their love,
Like the flower that seems too precious to be picked?
translated by Arthur Waley
Again!! Seeing someone else’s heart using the almost exact metaphor as My experience. As the saying goes ” If that don’t beat all !”
It sure does. Glad this resonates with you. It does with me, too.
Reblogged this on Leonard Durso.
Yep. The chord thrummed on this’n.
Yes, a lot to identify with there.
