dancing last night

all rights reserved Book of Blue©

” I saw you dancing last night on the roof of your house all alone.

I felt your heart longing for the Friend.

I saw you whirling beneath the soft bright rose that hung from an invisible stem in the sky.

So I began to change into my best clothes in hopes of joining you,
even though I live a thousand miles away.

And if you had spun like an immaculate sphere just two more times,
then bowed again so sweetly to the east,
you would have found
God and me
standing so near
and lifting you into our arms.
 ...
I saw you dancing last night
near the roof of this world.”

~Hafiz~
