A new dawn

The rope I grip has begun to fray,

The knots I tied have slipped and drawn slack,

From the truths that control my motions, and count my days

It’s time I pushed away from this shore of security

Towards the dawn of a new light, a twilight in the horizon

Beyond what I know, what I believe and accept as certainty

There are no truths, only beliefs which impede my progress

Faith corrupts my mind and my relationship with wonder

Wonder……….

There is space between my days and the sun,

A vastness deeper than my mind accepts and these eyes are willing to trace

The words and verses that have limited my expansion fade behind dark clouds,

The ancient ink bleeds like rain on blank pages in the antique Book,

Dissolving the Old and the New into the Here and the Now

This is the Religion of the faithful, the hope in ourselves

The hope in each other, the hope in a new dawn
