Dancing

 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  

Have you ever wished to be next to a person who was far, far away? Even with modern technology to be able "to see" someone via internet, the poet imagines or even foresees that technology, but longs for something more mystical and physical.
When the distance between two lovers is great and you feel your "heart longing for the Friend", you need a physical connection.  How can you bridge that gap of "a thousand miles"?
   Change into your best clothes, carry a soft bright rose and say a prayer.
   
Let the song called "White Keys" by Chilly Gonzales transport you to that roof of her house. Listen to the music, then look up in the sky and join your beloved in a beautiful and invisible dance.
