Amen
What do I believe,
Why, and how?
When I dig deep,
Do I find something profound,
Or do I find fear
And doubt.
I think of my prayers,
Sometimes apologetic,
Sometimes cautious,
And so often a desperate cry,
Like a shotgun blast
At the sky.
My inspiration is sometimes hazy,
Monochromatic,
Sometimes,
I find myself choosing to believe
In the revelations of other
Charismatic icons
Who surely know better.
Does their faith make me feel safe,
Or does it leave me
With the nagging awareness
That I may be empty inside?
What do I see when my eyes are closed
And my hands clenched,
What am I hearing,
Who am I seeing,
What words escape from my heart.
Am I heard,
Will I be answered?
Or are my fears of being alone
And an empty universe
Stalking me after every
Amen?...
..............
Amen.

The universe is not empty...
...that's one of the things that has been kept from us, but not for much longer. ;-)
Yes, but in terms of the constant struggle with the every day fears and doubts sometimes it appears to be Godless and clinical..like looking into a glass of water on a dark night...
