Bonsai of Thoughts (Translated)

The Whirl of Silent Storm


1. What heart is that, which never breaks?
What bond is that, which never tears?

2. The flower stolen from the garden—
for it the heart weeps, the chest cries out—
yet that flower lying right before us,
our eyes never once walk its way!

3. Whoever cannot understand my silence
will understand what of me in this world?

4. You are dearer than all treasure;
why adorn yourself with jewels—jewels themselves are adorned by wearing you!
