Reflections of a hopeful sceptic

flowing like a quiet fog into the valley,

a gentle mist rising above the water

My words a little louder

when read not spoken,

that those things taken for granted

were not always so,

those so often dismissed

might not should be

The hope, if there was one,

that a little uncertainty,

a subtle dissonance,

might awaken a mind

and point to what could be.

That the mystery of Love

was the heart, the soul

of all we knew

and yet didn’t know.

That doubt in the darkness

could lead to light,

to truth.
