Time spent with the Beloved
is a good investment;
in one moment
He will make you richer
than you’ll ever know,
in the next
you can bankrupt yourself
in the palaces of excess;
He doesn’t mind
there’s always more;
keep yourself lean,
that way
you go back to Him
asking for grace,
standing on the threshold
of a vast inheritance
that is rightfully yours;
it is only when you realize this
that you can quit the world
and shine in all your radiance
