Kit Kelen #266 - the truth (yet again)

266

the truth (yet again)

the truth long lost

and it shines

like a dew spangled flag

dawn sets alight

I salute it

and sing it

stand like the rest for it

and I bow

sometimes I believe

it is the truth deceived us

so simple a thing

we must have imagined

then must I not set

such doubts aside?

truth is I am here to tell

as others told before

old initials

are carved in a wall

the moss grows over

and lichen tells too

the truth we scratch at

dig down for

I'm a fool for it

like fate

I salute it

and sing it

stand like the rest

and I bow low

before and after

all God's mind fact

there must be a garden

of this truth to tell

they say the future

will bear all out

horizon I see

is forgetting though

and is the soul (?)

I ask again

whom we needs must invent

knowing what one doesn't know

the outside all that lights the way

the lightning strikes

for revelation, for all time

sometimes I believe

the truth's a lost longing

dawn sets alight

and it shines like

a dew spangled flag

I salute it and sing it

and bow like the rest

as any old animal does
