My sister,
protect your heart
against cracked wells
and fire pits.
The water will not
quench your thirst;
the flames will smother you.
My sister,
do not pour out your love
or arouse a fire
until the time is right.
The water will not
quench his thirst;
the flames will smother him.
Wait, my loved one.
Hold on to the arms
of your Father.
Let Him fill your heart
with life-giving water
and love goes out.
