Jeff Olmsted: Music
Don't Go Back To Sleep
(Rumi translation by Coleman Barks, music by Jeff Olmsted)
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 doorsill where two worlds meet.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep!
