Devotion

Devotion
    Is the cry
    That compels God
To seize the aspirant
With the very madness of Love.

A piece of candy,
    Lo, the child is won.
An iota of devotion,
God, the true and real God,
Is captured.

Sweeter than honey,
    Purer than flowers,
    Deeper than love:
The flame-waves of devotion-light.
