When you dance

Sunlight’s interpretation of  Rumi’s Quatrain 784:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you dance

the whole universe dances.

What a wonder,

I’ve looked

and now I cannot look away!

Take me or do not take me,

both are the same –

As long as there is life in this body,

I am your servant.
