The Mystic's Dilemma
Even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.
I tried to write of sadness
But only joy could I then find
I tried to tell of angry thoughts
But happiness filled my mind
------------------
I wished to list all my regrets
But my memory was poor
I tried but could only write of peace
Instead of chronicling war
-------------------
I sought to bring the idea of worry
But instead, hope filled my cart
I wished to write of hate and fear
But only love was in my heart
------------------
I tried to think thoughts both sick and ill
But in health, my beliefs do lay
I tried to dream of my impoverished past
But only abundance had its say
------------------
I tried to speak of the fires of Hell
But that would be but lies
I purposed to imagine storms and clouds
But could only picture blue skies
------------------

I tried to tell of things kept in
Of emotions kept repressed
I tried so hard but in the end
Only beauty did I express
------------------
The dilemma of the mystic’s soul
With wisdom to impart
There is no room for thoughts of fear
When love would fill your heart
