My soul wants to fly away...by Rumi

My soul wants to fly away 
when your presence calls it so sweetly. 

My soul wants to take flight, 
when you whisper, “Arise.” 

A fish wants to dive from dry land into the ocean,
when it hears the drum beating “Return.”

A Sufi, shimmering with light,
wants to dance like a sunbeam
when darkness summons him.

~ Rumi.
