Your Holy Book or Mine?

`

 

 

So what if I've gone to Scripture
maybe just to have a look?
So what if it spoke to me so loud
with brilliant flashes of cutting blades?
So what if all my thoughts are laid bare
stripped of any guile or disguise?

We all are pilgrims in this journey,
We all seek for what we know
We do not have yet could not name;
We all of us are on a quest toward
What we know eternity must hold....

So what if in my searching I find
whims and wandering thoughts reigned
within the cosmic finiteness of this mind?
Then there must have been some use
undusting and poring through that Tome.

"We do not have yet could not name"

That line rolls so well off the tongue. I'm sure there's a rhetorical device for how cool that sounds, but I'm not sure what it is.

Most pieces on religion are, if not extolling any one religion, usually pretty scathing. I like that this doesn't fit into either of those.

The last stanza is my favorite, and the turn at the end is pretty effective.
