Stay together friends;
Don't scatter and sleep.
Our friendship is made of
being awake.
The waterwheel accepts water
and, turns and gives it away,
weeping.
That way it stays in the garden
whereas another roundness rolls
through a dry riverbed looking
for what it thinks it wants.
Stay here, quivering with each moment,
like a drop of mercury.
-- Rumi
