48. Two roads

No one walks along this road.
God once tried, but He failed
    Because
This road is
Man’s frustration-road: destruction.

Man once walked along this road,
But failed
    Because
This road is
God’s perfection-road: satisfaction.
Someday, perhaps man and God
Will together walk along this road
When
Man offers to God his surrendered cry
    And
God offers to man His unmanifested Smile.
