We can't help being thirsty,
moving toward the voice of water.
Milk drinkers draw close to the mother.
Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Shamans,
everyone hears the intelligent sound
and moves, with thirst, to meet it.
Clean your ears. Don't listen
for something you've heard before.
Invisible camel bells,
slight footfalls in sand.
Almost in sight! The first word they call out
will be the last word of our last poem.
moving toward the voice of water.
Milk drinkers draw close to the mother.
Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Shamans,
everyone hears the intelligent sound
and moves, with thirst, to meet it.
Clean your ears. Don't listen
for something you've heard before.
Invisible camel bells,
slight footfalls in sand.
Almost in sight! The first word they call out
will be the last word of our last poem.
Rumi
