I walk around in reverence,
just another agnostic
searching for truth,
an open door leading to the light
in a space devoid of people.

Once a little boy
Many unanswered questions
And he questions still

No left and no right
I exist at the centre
My family first
My community second
Building blocks of the nations

What if we are wrong?
All things we believe are false?
So then who am I?

Mysterious ways
Living in a miracle
Life can make us blind
Each day we awake is new
Attune to our Creator
