Sonnet

You will know the truth.
And the truth will set your free.
To discover the truth do we have to be a sleuth.
And do we have to bend the knee.

For me it’s not just about having faith.
Or following a man made rule.
It is joy, that insubstantial part of my dreams that appears like a wraith.
This is a tantalising jewel.

It comes often early on a spiritual journey.
And then is replaced with a long hard slog.
We fear our efforts do not concern he.
We still seek our destination, that sweet acceptance wrapped in fog.

Bu at the end there always will be joy.
From faith and prayer, the very sweetest alloy.

Faith and prayer the very
Sweetest true alloy
