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.

Nice, Betty. :)
Really nice, Betty! Thank you.
A very impressive share that warmed my heart and soul on this cold wintery day.While you bask in the sun, we expect 12 inches of the white stuff.
I love Rumi! - G

Very lovely!
I like it!
I wonder, would I connect with the poem without your great photo?
One of these days, just maybe, I'll quit being afraid to write poetry and just do it word by word (kinda like Bird by Bird:))
Love ya, Betty!
What a beautiful poem.
Happy Tuesday, Betty.

Who does that eye belong to?
I adore Rumi and find so much truth and inspiration in his writing and that of other sufist writers and theologian.
I love Rumi--so many centuries later, he still spreads peace. Ahh...
lovely poem but I got a strange feeling that I was being watched while I was reading it
"In your light..." don't we all need some light. Wonderful selection :)

'Bout the only poetry I know related to that pic is..."I spy with my little eye..."

You find only the best poems. Dancing inside my chest = superb.
Hey, if you haven't seen it yet, I finally did the Barney orders Chinese food thing. It's posted now.
*Sigh* If I want beauty, whether it be flowers or poetry or your beautiful prose, I come here.
Thank you for all of it, Betty.
I just love your poems. Thank you for sharing Betty. :)
