Devoutly Doubting

It seems
the only way
I can know
Who You Are
is to let go of
all that I suspect
You Are Not;
even though
I have been told
there is only
one way of
Knowing You.

But everything
within me
rails against
the limiting of
Your Love,
and the men who
lock the doors
and chain souls
and decide
who’s in
and who’s out.

And so more and more,
I devoutly doubt;
eschewing the safety
of certainty~
setting both You
and myself free.
