Poetry<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\n

Poetry crosses the earth alone,<\/p>\n

gives its voice to the pain of the world<\/p>\n

and asks for nothing<\/p>\n

not even words.<\/p>\n

\n

It comes from far away, unexpected, without notice;<\/p>\n

it has the key of the door.<\/p>\n

On entering, it always stops to look at us.<\/p>\n

Then opens its hand and gives us<\/p>\n

a flower or a pebble, something secret,<\/p>\n

but so intense that the heart beats<\/p>\n

too fast. And we wake up.<\/p>\n
