“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 door sill
Where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open
Don’t go back to sleep.”
––Rumi
And as another translation has it…….
The Wind at dawn
is the soul’s confidant,
Don’t find yourself asleep
This is the time to share
your greatest need.
Don’t find yourself asleep
From before-the-beginning to beyond-the-last,
the two eternities are present now
Don’t find yourself asleep
The door of the two worlds
is open now
Don’t find yourself asleep
