Doubt? I wrestle with it Like some spar with angels. God, Who doesn’t exist for a lot of peopl Or who becomes a poster Jesus Stuck on light poles, Bumpers, vacant building windows, Is always a shadow Who may be my projection Or an absence that is a presence. The enlightenment only goes so far, Then Heisenberg’s unprincipled principle. Shadows lay across the mind And the heart, Its pulse so emotion driven. Revelation is certainly a matter of perception. All stories are true if you suspend disbelief. Poems are not philosophy, Or axioms, Or wisdom; Poems are the cries of the heart, The fire of immaterial molecules, The immaterial fire of molecules, Arrows shot into the night, String Theory at its finest.
