perhaps why sufis cry...

If they're so close to The God...

why
do
they
sing so much

about being so far away?

Do they perhaps love the ecstasy of missing someone?

Someone so dear that only tears of longing yearning can do it justice?

That I love you so much that I can't live without you?

This feeling.

This feeling of

"I want to rip out my heart and let it wail for how much you mean to me...
oh my love...
where are you?
I miss you...
I need you...
i cry...
i bleed...
i live ...
i die for you...
oh my love...
my adored....
i cry for you
with
every
droplet
of
yearning
rabid
raw
reaching
wanting wishing

wild
abandon

that nothing...

nothing else matters

but my heart
filled

and

for

You..."
