' The Beloved '...

When the desire for the Friend became real,
all existence fell behind.

The Beloved wasn't interested in my reasoning,
I threw it away and became silent.

The sanity I had been taught became a bore,
it had to be ushered off.

Insane, silent and in bliss,
I spend my days with my head
at the feet of My Beloved.
