Menna Abu Zahraцитує2 роки тому
They used music and poetry and movement. They sat in silence.

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.

An ant hurries along a threshing floor

with its wheat grain, moving between huge stacks

of wheat, not knowing the abundance

all around. It thinks its one grain

is all there is to love.

So we choose a tiny seed to be devoted to.
