Your silent veracity

Your silent veracity                                                                         

Images flow from Your hands

through the medium of silence

to impress, expose and illustrate

the nothingness of the dream

while I hurry down a different road,

trusting to the flesh of the heart

and other charlatans and infidels

in this world of sham and glamour.

The truth of Your eloquence

(some forty-four years of exquisite silence)

becomes, in these latter years,

more acutely precise, glaringly apparent

in the light of Your beauty, purity

and Your ceaseless, silent veracity.

O child of God, as Truth is beyond words,

so Illusion is beyond any substance or sustenance.
