Floating Willow Flowers 233: Appreciation - the Revelation of 'S

 (Shanjing)

Several hundred years of silence
give birth to "Silent Night;"
the sacred piece of music
that brings to the world
eternal comfort and peace
was flowing from a lonely heart, 
with an instrument simple and plain.

The most precious, true to the heart,
if it has to go,
let it go into silence.

Only real death
will give rebirth.
