Build a temple
and Grace will arrive--
Surrender the temple
and Grace will abide.
...
Shine like a jewel
and await your Lover's embrace.
...
You feed me small bites, Beloved,
teaching me to savor each
morsel of delicious emptiness
while saving the best for last!
...
The Heart is a door
that swings both ways--
Silence the inward,
surrender the outward,
And the door stands forever open.
