This Life I Live

I don’t know if I’m good or bad,

but I’m not for loan

 

I don’t know if my words will rise,

but these thoughts I own

 

I don’t know if the questions asked,

will in death rename

 

I don’t know if this life I live

—will the past reclaim

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)

Lost—Unfelt

Beyond all critical thinking,

above what’s right or wrong

 

There’s a different understanding,

where words turn into song

 

With a deeper sense of freedom,

light shines upon itself

 

All reasoned dialectic,

left abandoned, lost—unfelt

 

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: June, 2019)

The Truth Is

God does not exist…

existence a material term

 

Transcending all dimension,

His presence wholly burns

 

Not temporal or timeless,

His light as knowledge gives

 

Not forgiving or forsaking

—the truth in God just is

 

(St. Davids Pennsylvania: June, 2019)
