How can you name

Something unnameable?

How can you enchain

That which is fleeting?

Mind like a tightly shut box

Closed in a locked black room

A door your own hands sealed

Self-imposed oppression

Your soul’s voluntary constraints

But that’s something I don’t want for me

A one way ticket I will never buy

A station I won’t ever visit

Enslaving salvation I prefer to ignore

Golden shackles with a blinding glow

Keep those ideas

That forced divinity

But listen to my voice

Even as you cower away

From that small gap

My pained hands force open

I don’t need images

Want those vain symbols

Or search for a holy grail

Futile hunt drainer of hope

I have no certainties

Which is real

Which is not

And you fear me for that…

You fear the places where my faith lies

The touch of the winds

The whisper of the waves

The caress of a tender hand

Or that caring word in a right moment

I care not about symbols

About religions, forced truths

I believe in what I see

The kindness humanity can show

The beauty of the nature around me

I believe in what I feel

The horror mankind can bring

The destruction our world can cause

But in that I find my God

Not perfect

Not frozen

A shifting coin

Ever changing wheel

A failing entity

Present in everything

Yet absent from our fates

Only an invisible presence

A faith deep rooted inside

A timeless watcher

What is real?

What is not?

Does it really matter?

To be able to measure,

Gauge the depth of a bond,

Does it really matter?

Finding the weight,

The price of a loving heart,

Does it really matter?

I watch my God in every surface

See its face in every moment

Sense its touch in every action

Feel its caring in mortal hands

And I smile

No reason behind it

I just feel complete

Never alone

I need no more

Carrying my faith safely

Not forced

Not a lie

Real and clear

Blame me then

Cast me away

As your own faith orders

Close that door

I tried so hard to maintain open

You won’t see my broken smile

As I can no longer reach you

I grasp my faith

Feeling its strength

And smile for its source

Walking slowly away

This is my vision

I live, I will die

And more I cannot see

But I live Dear God

And in you I find myself.
