My life motto : Be Aware, Be Alive, and Learn to let go. = ALL.
Sweet little words made for silence
Not talk
Young heart for love
Not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he`s still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they`re still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
First day of love never comes back
A passionate hour`s never a wasted one
The violin, the poet`s hand,
Every thawing heart plays your theme with care
Thanks Yi Zhen for introducing them to me! Two of their songs are my favourite.
'While Your Lips Are Still Red' touches me deeply. I am someone who thinks about death very often. No, not because I want to die, but because I realize how little time one actually have, even if our chances of going old is very high. What happens if the other one dies? What if you'll never get to see the one you love the next hour?
What would you do to make a difference?
Whenever I get too stress about anything, I remember the music, and I remember about the fragility of life. Its easy to be deluded into thinking about the importance of materialism and power. Yes, those are important. But, there are other things that are of equal importance, maybe more.
Like that little child, lost, hoping someone who could return him/her to the parents.
Like that quiet girl in the corner, too shy to speak up in fear of rejection.
Like that boy who seeks attention because deep inside, he feels insecure.
Like those homeless, happy just to survive another day.
Like that friend of yours whom you took for granted.
Like how you hurt your parents feelings, in ways you'll never understand.
That's why sometimes its easy for me to cry. To just shut down and just look at those I love and think, 'Wow, I've come a long way. What if I had given up a little too soon? Where would they end up at? '
It's scary to think how I almost end it all.
People and memories sometimes don't last. But if I just stay alive in every moment, it will freeze forever in the pages of time. And stay in the back of my mind.
I hope you do too, be alive in every moment, be aware of the unknown, and let go of things that hurt you.
Its ancient, but its true.
Love,
:)
