Truth

Should I be surprised at truth?

How silent it is, and how clear,

How irrefutable, once revealed!

How much it changes everything

while showing, at the same time,

that nothing’s ever changed . . . 

I am committed now

and I will seek it,

wait for all that wavers to disperse

while the solid weight of truth

leaves it unmoved

glinting with the infinity

of its depth.
