FOLLOW YOUR HEART OR THE DIARY OF FRANÇOISE DE CHAMBORD «THE TEAR OF SILENCE»…

“The sun rose quietly, painting the horizon with strokes of gold and lavender. I woke at 5 am, my heart eager to meet the day. The rain had left its mark on the earth, and the air was fresh with the scent of renewal. I pulled on my boots and walked under the soft drizzle, my diary tucked close to my chest. The world was silent, save for the gentle rhythm of my breath and the occasional rustle of leaves. Today, I will write about the connection between law and poetry — both seeking truth, both navigating the intricate maze of human emotion… And suddenly I thought… The trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.”

A DIARY… Within it dwells a thousand desires,

Love, separation, and sorrow entire.

Within it lie barriers and fervent pleas,

Strength and a prayer carried on the breeze.

I sought no madness, no trespass of the soul,

Only fragments of truth that make me whole.

Time slips away, its seconds obscure,

Masking joy and pain that endure.

Is poetry a herald or an end?

An empty vessel, or a truth to transcend?

Judge not life with a hardened gaze,

I sought to remind you of fleeting days.

Hear not the word alone, but the hidden key,

For beyond these lines lies you and me.

I love life—wildly, recklessly, and true!

Understand this: destiny waits for you.

Happiness is readiness, a path aligned,

For those who seek, and those who find.
