Sonnet

For everything that is now covered will be uncovered.
And everything now hidden will be made clear.
I pray that all these things really will be discovered.
For me these certainties are all too rare.

And then just looking out of a church window.
Everything seems clear true and factual.
I have my highs in belief then I descend into a low.
Faith is like the tide, but isn’t that natural.

I think we worry too much about what we are told.
Yesterday I just floated calmly in the North Sea.
My concern only with wind and tide and cold.
We should concentrate on just what we can see.

In the end everything will be clearly revealed.
Whatever we may think, already our fate is sealed.

Haiku

All will be revealed
We have to be patient
We are not ready
