Light

Will someday split you open

Even if your life is now a cage

For a divine seed, the crown of destiny,

Is hidden and sown on an ancient, fertile plain

You hold the title to.

Love will surely bust you wide open

into an unfettered, blooming new galaxy

Even if your mind is now

A spoiled mule.

A life-giving radiance will come...

From the poem In a Tree House by Hafiz, from the book The Subject Tonight is Love translated by Daniel Ladinsky.
