What Is There in the Darkness to Receive Alpha List Hanukkah Poems Religious Poems Sonnets Contents Home All poems: copyright by Nicholas Gordon Free scrapbook poems permission to use provided by the author. What is there in the darkness to receive The gratitude that clearly is its due? What if one's filled with awe but can't believe That anything religion says is true? It's clearly hogwash that the temple flame Burned eight whole days on oil just for one; Yet symbols drawn from tales are not the same As knowing what the power of God has done. The leap of faith strikes me as wishful thinking, To believe in God because one sees one must; I grant that life and death could use some linking, But to yield to faith's like giving in to lust. And yet I wish to celebrate the light Which quite by chance was born of endless night. [contents] [home]
