Turns......................................

Let go and you snare God.  But letting God go too
Is more than any but the rarest man can do.

Sin is no more than this;  that a man turns his head
away from God, and looks towards death instead.

Friend, you have read enough.  If you desire still more
Then be the poem yourself, and all that it stands for.

-Angelus Silesius, as translated and excerpted from The Cherubic Wanderer
