When the Moon is Full

Sit with your friends; don't go back to sleep.

Don't sink like a fish to the bottom of the sea.

Surge like an ocean,

don't scatter yourself like a storm.

Life's waters flow from darkness.

Search the darkness, don't run from it.

Night travelers are full of light,

and you are too; don't leave this companionship.

The moon appears for night travelers,

be watchful when the moon is full.
