The certitude of my ignorance

The certitude of my ignorance                                                               

In this poetry I have long lamented specific encumbrances
and limitations imposed by my absolute ignorance,

not for the sake of humility nor a mere heads up to the reader,
not to hedge my improbable bets but a disingenuous

pretext to explore the one fixed absolute in my life –
the certitude of my ignorance, that it might one day bear fruit,

be turned inside out, laid down to become
the very source and root, the core of my conviction.

O child of God, embrace your ignorance;
there can be no faith without it.
