Aren’t You Worth Hundreds of Pearls? (10/15/223)

Aren’t You Worth Hundreds of Pearls? (10/15/2023)

I am the wind. You are a leaf.

When I blow, how could you remain still?

If I give you an order, how could you ignore it?

Since I have thrown a stone and broken your jar,

aren’t you worth hundreds of oceans, hundreds of pearls?
