– The Fox’s Promise –

Not every rose, not every star.
Love does not live in having all,
But knowing just where you are.

Let your heart be like the fox’s step—
Soft upon the earth, unseen.
For what is tamed, it is not possessed—
It is cherished, kept between.

The world will try to dazzle you,
With things that shine, but do not stay.
Take the joy from the morning light—
Let that be enough for today.

Love gently, as the wind loves wheat.
Leave space for longing. Room for rain.
Take only what your soul can keep—
And give the rest away.

And when you want to come home,
I will be under the apple tree.

I learned a long time ago...
That men have forgotten this truth.
But you must not forget it "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."

And I am responsible...
For my rose.
