Heavenly Terms

Kurt Philip Behm

Owing a debt
you can never repay
Beatitudes leveraged
salvation in play

Moments beholden
to all that’s to come
Providence calling
in voices unsung

Eternally liable
the invoice sublime
Whose terms reverential
the bursar Divine

The wings of an angel
the wings of a dove
In debt to forgiveness
—absolved from above
