At God's Doorsteps

Being at God's doorstep
Does not mean being closer to Him;
To be at his doorstep,
Is to be on fire, as a piece of gold,
Burning out the vulgar exterior.
But to be in His inner circle,
One needs the inner rings
Revolving around itches,
To be put to His radiance for repair.
What is absolved remains as the immaculate.
Purity knows neither arrogance, nor fear.
Arrogance alters the equation between God and Man.
If fear of God forbids one, to see Him face to face,
It would be ideal to see Him,from downward vertically,
From His feet to His face, on a process of elevation,
Mounting step by step, stripping one ring after another.
The closest step is the costliest, costing the I, Me,My and Mine.
As the four disappear,God appears with arms unfolded
Holding the entry pass to His inner circle.
