Yes, very well composed. I like this a lot.
Never did get the big deal with the whirling dervishes. A bunch of

Physical act to bring on consciousness altering religious ecstasy.
Some people meditate, some people take peyote or smoke ganga, some
people spin around and around, some people speak in tongues.
