Description
"To Know the Known"
Who is this God that I follow?
Who am I to follow Him?
To inspire song.
To comfort in sorrow.
To cradle the face of a child.
To wipe the tears from eyes
strained towards heaven.
In somber solitude I seek to abandon,
to achieve what I am unable to grasp.
To let go of the here,
to obtain the Now.
I am awed in Your presence.
Totally at peace in my frustration
for that of which eludes me.
When I think I've come to an understanding,
You turn and I am struck dumb.
I glimpse at Your glory and collapse.
Unable to behold Your beauty.
Your splendor.
Sinful.
Arrogant.
I claim to hold a stallion by the reins;
to find I hold an ass.
The reins in my hand
steer the bit in my own mouth.
I long to know the Known.
To hold a piece of eternity.
Fallen man I am.
I discard the pride of reason
to become the fool of God.
To let go of achievement
for the brokenness of the humble.
Who is this God that I follow?
And who am I to follow Him?

Wonderful work and very well written. And i understand the balancing act. Me I went from religious, to become an agnostic and now an atheist. I guess, for me the more I searched and questioned, the more I learned and discovered, the more i got into science, the less probable a god became. But my most important discovery was that I didn't need religion to be a good and moral person. Well, enough babble...LOL. Thanks for posting this. Oh, and I always remember the words of Jim Morrison : "You CAN NOT petition the Lord with prayer"
