There is no dying age calved in stone
glaring at me on the other side of the green, it sits
the crimson cloud climbs over the electric cables
bird’s flap their wings skipping through the trees
animal’s communicating in a universal language
they, in a world without human barriers
I would tell my children that…
before you marry
be sure you can speak freely and without restrictions
everyone is beautiful, but to you, he/she is unique
they must be the flower blossoming in your heart
and the roots to your growing tree
if this cycle were to get me to half a century
this would be enough to secure their future
I would nurture my children into adults
and would have accomplished all my goals
if you both connect spiritually
if he/she feels like your soul-mate
if you can see past the physical and the mental
if you both live in harmony with one direction
so, perhaps fifty is the sign set in my stone
the cicada’s cradling inside its harmonious sound
time will tell my fate, sa…
yet either way, I am not defeated
be sure to have tasted his/her sweat flesh
and if you are content, this is enough
cultivate your impurities to hold no expectations
and see through each others mistakes
if you can say yes to all my words…
then my children, you have found the one to marry

Thanks and likewise!
I love this quote when my soul mate does not feel like my soul mate.
Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to.
Letter to Michael Tolkien (March 1941)
On the surface it seems unromantic, but I think it is the most romantic thing in the world. It makes me fall in love all over again.
