WoW16: Strength of message comes when you can combine vision with the heart

I was researching on mid-autumn festival programs. I come across some Chinese poetry. This one by Zhang Jiuling 张九龄 is especially striking.

Why is it so powerful? 海上生明月，天涯共此時.

Because it creates a powerful image that translates into a deep felt moment in the heart. Max Lucado has power like this too.

An expansive view of the moon on the horizon. A distant loved one sharing the same magical moment. Priceless.

望月怀远（张九龄）
　　海上生明月，天涯共此时。
　　情人怨遥夜，竟夕起相思。
　　灭烛怜光满，披衣觉露滋。
　　不堪盈手赠，还寝梦佳期。
