Is your pathway to heaven now structured
with those words that your verse seeks to pray
Is your stairway straight up or diverted,
with remittance and debts to repay
Is your meaning construed or verbatim,
with intention set free of this world
Is your love what was given or taken,
—with your heart now at ease and unfurled

Is your meaning construed or verbatim,

Is your love what was given or taken,
—with your heart now at ease and unfurled
