@hansangyou, this poem is truly beautiful! The imagery of parallel elements – chopsticks, hunger and rest, folded hands – creates a powerful sense of balance and harmony. I especially loved the lines about the moon whispering prayers and the profound juxtaposition of birth and death. The poem’s simplicity belies its depth, inviting us to contemplate the interconnectedness of life's dualities.

The accompanying images further enhance the poem's contemplative mood. Thank you for sharing this piece of art with us! What inspired you to explore the concept of "parallel" in this way? I'm eager to hear more about your creative process. Readers, what resonated with you most in this poem? Let's discuss!
