Rumi: Part 2

Some nights stay up until dawn,
as the moon sometimes does for the sun.
Be a full bucket pulled up the dark way
of a well, then lifted out into the light.




I am a night person, myself.
I don't go to sleep until the small hours of the morning because that's just how I'm wired. Still, even for me, staying up til dawn is special and memorable.

It's an event.

To me, one of the greatest things in the world is to stay up all night - charged by work, or love, or friendly chat til dawn or crying on the shoulder of the cosmos.

You walk out into the world exhilarated.
