Verily I say Unto Thee
by Jason Patrick

In my pride
I have continued to hide
the face of the other side
of Me.

I have battled
to remain a man
swollen with the pressures
of this life.

What is expected
I do not really know
each day I wake
and off to work I go.

But unnecessary
I do think I am
when I consider how
others are much better than I.

Purpose in life
is a fleeting glimpse
of a hope that finds itself
shooting across the sky.

We watch its travel
along the axis of dreams
but when it is gone
we realize that life
is a lot more than what is seen.

We see only that
which reveals itself
to our naked untrained eyes
but so much more exists
beyond sights unseen.

Verily, I say unto thee
that the day will come
when all will be revealed
and when that day come
you will know me.
