if you should find yourself
dancing
with darkness
if the sirens
in your mind
won’t cease
if you’re feeling
like your spirit
is broken
if your body
is low
on inner peace
keep dancing
keep dancing
keep dancing
through the darkness
in the light
—
war is darkness
whether with
oneself
or with others
keep dancing

these words
really reading
i send you 💚
Dance, when you’re broken open.
Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you’re perfectly free.
Struck, the dancers hear the tambourine inside them,
as a wave turns the foam on its very top, begin.
Maybe you don’t hear that tambourine,
all the tree leaves clapping time.
Close the ears on your head that listen mostly to lies
and cynical jokes.
There are other things to hear and see:
dance, music and a brilliant city inside the soul.
— Rumi
dance
for peace
for love
for kindness
dance
for life
