Little Do the Others Know

May 19, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is spirituality, in honor of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins on May 16th.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A religious poem in which the poet speaks to God about the merciless nature of truth:

Little do the others know
How much I hurt inside.
But you, who must know everything,
Care little for my pride.

You, with eyes of steel, rebut
Without a word my pain,
And with a passion pitiless
Undo me once again.

The truth is ever loving, though
It recks not how we feel.
And you, who are the truth, love me
Too much to let me heal.
