Poetry selections

When I wanted to marry God

```

When I wanted to marry God

For His occult power,

He insulted me mercilessly

For my stark stupidity.

When I wanted to marry God

For His spiritual power,

He scolded me privately

For my absurd greed.

When I wanted to marry God

To empty my ignorance-night,

He said in public:

“I am more than eager

To marry you.”
