Monday, Third Week in Ordinary Time

Sonnet

I was on that journey.
And about midday a bright light from Heaven shone about me.
Does St Paul’s conversion concern me.
Absolutely, how else am I to be free.

Free from doubt.
Disbelief.
Flailing about.
Grief.

I wait for a vision.
It never comes.
I cannot even make the decision.
Certainty mere distant drums.

But I stay on the Damascene road.
Hoping to throw off doubt’s load.

Haiku

Damascene journey
No light appears in the sky
I carry on path
