I want to dance

by Lucian Blaga, translated from Romanian

I want to dance
like I have never danced before
So God will not think of himself as chained,
incarcerated within me.
He shall breath free through me.
My Earth shall give me wings:
and I shall turn into a feathered arrow
thrown towards infinity.
I shall not see around but sky
above, and underneath but sky;
and burning with the waves of light
I  shall dance and ride
with unseen boldness,
so God can feel his breath be free
and not complain
that he's been chained,
incarcerated within me.
