Recently, I saw a poem about interdependence in intimate relationships, Lonely Wisdom, which was written by Ji Bolun, the most outstanding figure in the Arab world.
You should stay in your marriage for a while,
Let the wind of heaven dance between your cracks.
Loving someone doesn't mean binding each other with love.
The highest state of love is like an ocean flowing between the banks of your soul.
Fill them up, but don't drink the same glass of wine.
Share bread, but don't eat the same piece of bread.
Singing and dancing happily together,
But allow each other the freedom to be alone,
Like strings,
Although they vibrate together, they make different sounds.
Between the strings, you are you, I am me, and do not interfere with each other.
Be sure to open your heart to each other, but don't give it to each other for safekeeping.
Because only the hand of God can hold your heart.
Stand together, but not too close,
Have you noticed that the pillars of the church stand separately, but they can support the church?
Don't you see, oak trees and conifers don't grow in each other's shadows.
I like Ji Bolun's poems very much. The language arrangement is smooth and beautiful, full of philosophy. It is easy to understand by using common things as metaphors. Ji Bolun's poems can not only express personal feelings, but also have the aesthetic feeling and imagination of words. The reason why everyone is called everyone lies in the positive sense of value conveyed by his full text. Warn us not to lose ourselves in love, keep the wisdom of being alone, leave a gap and let the wind of heaven blow freely between two people.
