THE SEARCH

I looked for meaning

 In the things I saw

Seeking logic

  Or some indisputable law

  That reduced to reason

  The chaos, confusion and contradiction

  I perceived.

Each perception brings new richness,

 But no answers,

Inspires new questions,

And reveals new marvels,

  But no solace

  No peace

  Only unending mystery.

Yet doubt persists

 In the face of the ultimate answer.

Am I blind?

  What is it I seek to find

  That faith has not already revealed?

Some God beyond God,

Some Will, some Power,

Some other Hope?

O Lord,

Give me hope, if not sight

 That I may struggle onward

However blindly

 Towards your light.
