“Where there is no longer any opportunity for doubt, there
is no longer any opportunity for faith either.”
Paul
Tournier

Encased in certainty
he sits on his porch
arguments racing through his head
answers that would bear no rebuttal
thoughts that would bear no rebuke
certain about right and wrong
certain about God, and God’s will
certain about his blessed state
knowing, without a doubt that he holds the truth
and they are well and truly false
all those others
in an exile of his own making
he sits alone
and wonders why
he is so deserted
why, even though he tries so hard
God seems so inaccessible
ah the dilemma
of all the Pharisees of this world
standing on the heights,
watching
the joyful losers
frolicking in the dust
