I finally got my hands on this. It's interesting how much more insight to your core is shed via the poetry in comparison to your journals and posts. Or seemingly so.

Thanks for taking the time to write and publish it.

I am glad to read that you have acquired my book of poetry, and clearly you are getting something out of it.  For me, poetry is just one vehicle to express my religious experience, and sometimes it is the best vehicle for that expression.
