Whirling Dervishes, revolve to recall God.
Harmonic poetry in motion – reminds.
Reminds us of the rhythms of the cosmos – awed.

Revolve, let sight blur into your heart unshod,
sparking joy like a spinning top that unwinds.
Watch yourself revolve in the mirror of life,
cyclic moves for the balance, between tensions rife.
