How do you protect your heart, Chen? I so admire and appreciate your courage in undertaking these translations. It’s humbling to this often cynical soul.
thank you..really. humbling is to hear your kind words❤️
I'm kinda bad in protecting my heart..but nowadays, that's what it is, I won't become better at it I'm afraid...more worrried about my brain, this thing does need to function at some level))
I do not think it's courage by the way. showing it-yes this requires a degree of "ok let me fall face down again, in a picturesque way" or something.
thank you for this, for saying this-it propelled me to think about
thank you for saying this, @mpoetry-that's very important for me to hear, as yes, the feelings are negative(as oppossed to the very uplifting melody..I love this juxtaposition in songs, i know a few), and it was crucial to capture them-but also pity and kindness and sorrow
Thoughts of aging come to mind. Wrinkles in time.

Much more than picturesque, Chen, much more
I feel the negative feelings in this poem. Really good describing them, as it shows how those came to happen due to the world.
