Feelings Expressed Orally or Written Down

What’s the use of all our feelings

Expressed orally or expressly written down

The heart that hears it does not last long;

Even the stone on which it is written

Crumbles to dust, and the sun itself dies

Taking all life on earth along with it;

Amidst this mayhem what lasts?

No, not even love, and only that remains

Which has neither emotions nor thoughts

Nor does it have any need for them

Though we who have taken birth from it

Pay attention to them and rejoice and suffer.
