Dance when you're broken open.
Dance when you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance when you're perfectly free.
Struck, the dancer hears a tambourine inside her,
like a wave that crests into foam at the very top,
Begins.
Maybe you don't hear that tambourine,
or the tree leaves clapping time.
Close the ears on your head,
that listen mostly to lies and cynical jokes.
There are other things to see, and hear.
Music. Dance.
A brilliant city inside your soul!

Oh I love Rumi... Are you on the Rumi mailing list? They send out one a day. It's called... mmm.. something sunshine. I'd have to open my mail, and frankly the thought makes me nervous since I haven't done so in awhile. My computer might explode. heh But, I'll get you the name if you're interested.

Sure, if you can remember it. I usually just get in the mood randomly and google poems on the internet, lol.
