Conception of Devotion

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

CONCEPTION OF DEVOTION

Separate seeds planted
Handfuls of earth
Raindrops aplenty
Time bequeathed
Cultivating
Nurturing
Oh how the sun smiles down!
Lone roots
Stretching
Exploring
Searching
Our solitary roots entwine
Now we become one

Wait.
Nothing so simple
The storm races in
Harsh rain unleashed
Burned by vengeful wind
Blinded by light
For beauty shall not exist
Without existence
Of ugly
This too
Shall pass
So together we cling
Separate
Yet never apart
