Now you are speaking plainly.
And not using metaphors.
How can we follow truth faithfully.
Trying to put everything on all fours.

I was sitting outside at dinner.
And suddenly I noticed the church tower.
I forgot my doubts , became again a new  beginner.
One look improved my mood, hope blooming like a flower.

So much here seemed hollow.
Truth was contained in religion.
Everything else was shallow.
All adding to relentless tension.

But the tower reminded me of what is true.
Everything else somehow is in lieu.

Once he spoke plainly
No longer in metaphors
Then they understood

See John 16; 29-33
