both hands rest gently,
protecting a quiet warmth,
where another life
is learning how to breathe.

the room is still,
yet nothing is empty,
for the future already
waits inside her.

light falls softly through paper screens,
time slows its steps,
and the body listens
to what it carries.

“腹” speaks of resolve —
not chosen in words,
but formed by
protecting what matters most.

watercolor captures
the strength of quiet devotion,
where courage grows
without needing proof.

perhaps the deepest strength
is not in action,
but in holding life,
and waiting.
