poetry wednesday : love without a balance sheet

Sunset from plane Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe Me."

Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.

– Hafiz

Love without a balance sheet. Without measuring return on investment. Without bar charts and Excel spreadsheets. It lights the Whole Sky.

With many thanks to Kerrie Blazek for pointing me to this.
