A Writer's Ruminations
I sought to share
the life of snow
and fire.
But neither
snow nor fire
took me in.
So,
I kept my peace,
waiting like flowers,
staying like stones.
In love I lost
myself.
I broke away
and watched until
I swayed like a wave
between the life
I dreamed and the changing
dream I lived.
Adonis, The Passage (translated by Samuel Hazo)

Yes this is one of the most beautiful piece of poetry I have ever read.
