Station 2

In your light

I learn how to love.

In your beauty,

How to make poems.

You dance

Inside my chest

Where

No one sees you.

But sometimes

I do

And that sight

Becomes this art.

— Rumi

(translated by Coleman Banks)

You that give new life to this planet, you that transcend logic, come. I am only an arrow. Fill your bow with me and let me fly.
