I want to say words that flame
as i say them, but I keep quiet and don't try
to make both worlds fit in one mouthful.

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.

Drumsound rises on the air,
its throb, my heart.

A voice inside the beat says,
"I know you're tired,
but come. This is the way."

Who makes these changes?
I shoot an arrow right.
It lands left.
I ride after a deer and find myself
chased by a hog.
I plot to get what I want
and end up in prison.
I dig pits to trap others
and fall in.

Who makes these changes ?

I should be suspicious
of what I want.

I want to hold you close like a flute
so we can cry out with love

You would rather throw stones at a mirror?
I am your mirror, and here are the stones!

- Rumi
