The sound of her silk skirt has stopped.
On the marble pavement dust grows.
Her empty room is cold and still.
Fallen leaves are piled against the doors.
Longing for that lovely lady
How can I bring my aching heart to rest?
translated by Arthur Waley
To bring an aching heart to rest is no easy chore. Two hands to hold faith and hope, therein rests the healing.
But only if there are two hands to hold.
True, but if there are no hands, one can always embrace with their entire being, so hearts can connect. 🙂
You are always the optimist. Bless you for that.
If I didn’t hold to it, I would break, and even with no hands, the heart can hang on.
Yes, it can.
