Poem- Truth Quest

This is a poem I wrote that is closely connected to a life-purpose of mine: to seek the truth and to speak the truth. In the process, there comes both an unknowing and a re-weaving of new realities. Truth seeking can be both lonely and fulfilling.

May this poem meet you wherever you find yourself on this journey, and may you find yourself renewed and refreshed to keep going.

I've always been on a quest for the truth. Truth that settles deep into my bones. Truth that is lived and in that living it shows. Whether truth is truly timeless or only for a season. Truth can be like that, Though always with reasons. Truth can be a stepping stone drawing you across rivers, Mountains, Lifetimes. Truth can be a boulder anchoring you through the good and the hard times. Truth is a comfort while the quest for it is often not. Truth can be elusive, A result hardly sought. Truth for me has been an unknowing, A re-knowing, A re-weaving. Truth has been an awakening, Each fresh insight a receiving. Truth can be a loss, A burden, A grieving. Truth is often a responsibility, Its sharer fully believing in its validity, Its value, Its rightness, Solid, True. So may you, Receiver, Find truth without complications. Truth without needed justifications. Truth so simple and pure. Truth that can endure. May you have peace in your quest. May you make every effort your best. May you find friends on the path who together find truths that last.
