She lingers
Under the willow branches
Softly sighs, not quite a cry,
And not with tears,
Noticing nothing.

Why is sadness upon you,
So young with many years to live?
I'm lost, said she, know not what to do
What advice can you give?

I have ended my advising days
To find contentment in poetry
I head for peaceful hermit ways
In the western mountains beauty.

She said "I have no where to go
Abandoned by husband and family.
I can only sit beneath this willow
Reflecting on my tragedy"

Zhan Zhing was moved by compassion,
Wrote to a friend a short letter
A friend of long devotion
To make this girl’s life better.

She smiled and bowed deep,
Rushing off to his friend of years
That in his house he would keep
Removing her stigma and fears.

The Mountains loomed in the west
Green with the days of late spring
Tomorrow he’d go today he’d rest
Soon a new life would be for Zhan Zhing

that woman could be me

I guess we're all just someone you meet along the way

Thank you, Susan
Glad you like this

Thank you, Seymour,
I am glad you enjoyed

Thank you, passing shadows,
Yes, we are all just someone along the way
It’s important to notice the people you pass,
I’m sure I would notice you.
Glad you took the time on my humble words
