Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is religion.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A poem about the nature of faith:
Faith is what one cannot know,
But one decides is
true,
As though one looked
out on a wall
And painted on a
view.
One knows the provenance
of one's
Belief, but truth is
more
Than stating with
some certainty
What stands outside
one's door.
Truth has many voices
That speak to mind
and heart
In many languages
derived
From science, myth,
or art.
Faith is just one
inner voice
That sings in harmony
With what the mind
can comprehend
And what the eye can
see.
And if one feels
God's presence where
No proof can find its
way,
Yes, that is real, as
real as grass,
And true in its own
way.
