Art as Flirtation and Surrender |
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. |
(excerpt from The Essential Rumi, |
translations by Coleman Barks with John Moyne, 1995) |
