Unconditional

To trust one’s word, 
      And that alone, 
   Is gambling entire riches; 
For a thin line
      Does separate
   Having faith and foolishness.
To share one’s self, 
      Enough, not wholly, 
   Is a word for the wise; 
Easily learned
      But not heeded—
   Having faith is being blind.
