GOD SHINES OUT

The agnostic's hopeless search for meaning in an apparently meaningless universe. The temptation to reject belief in the divine is very great.

God shines out in light inaccessible,

testing blind faith with

incomprehension, and reason

laughs at the foolish pursuit.

I yearn for order and purpose,

but know such futility is real, back off

with hands empty from despair.

The divine face, if it be so,

hides behind the facade of

a perpetual conundrum,

wrapped up but may

never be opened.
