don’t go back to sleep

 

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorstep
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.

 

Rumi
