Love is Reckless - Sufi Poem

Love is reckless; not reason.

Reason seeks a profit.

Love comes on strong, consuming herself unabashed.

Yet in the midst of suffering love proceeds

like a millstone, hard surfaced and straight forward.

Having died to self interest, she risks everything

and asks for nothing.

Love gambles away every gift God bestows.

Without cause God gave us Being;

without cause give it back again.
