That Great Unknown

Loneliness

defines my spirit

as I walk That Great Unknown

wondering where I am to go now,

to settle on life's purpose.

Is this all there is

or will be?

In these times

I sense your shadow

but know I'll never see you.

On sunny days I foolishly think

you're walking with me, smiling.

I should know better.

You are blind.

Why should I

not have your secrets

to explain uncertainty?

I want to know all explanations,

and ascertain all reasons,

life with no riddles.

To see all.

Will you walk

with me and whisper

secrets of That Great Unknown,

fill my mind with knowledge eternal?

Alas, I knew you would not.

My only chance is

to have faith.
