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
