There can be no faith without its shadow, doubt.
The world crowds in and shouts, "I'm all that is!"
The self becomes what self cannot do without.
The highest Truth fades to nothingness.
There can be no faith without its shadow, doubt.
So live with this polarity. Give your sense
its due when sense makes sense. Yet convene
the holy city in all its magnificence
when the soul confesses to what cannot be seen.
There can be no faith without its shadow, doubt.
