The Waterwheel by Rumi.


“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 river bed looking

For what it thinks it wants.

Stay here, quivering with each moment

Like a drop of mercury.” 

Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi, Maulana, 1207 - 1273
