was that you who cried?
I heard that grief
as one hears the growing grass
was that you who cried?
I heard that sigh
as one hears the whisper
of one leaf to another;
I heard that pain
as one hears a wave creep up to one’s feet
you can hug your pain
embrace it, bring it close to your heart
and look into its eyes
and it will gaze back at you;
simply look at it with all the love you can give
and it will love back;
and one understands suffering
