The CruciFiction:
I felt lost, so I looked for one
who said he was the way.
I felt confused, so I searched for one
who said he was the truth.
I felt dead, so I needed someone
who said he was the life.
I felt disconnected, so I joined myself
to one who said he'd find me God.
The time came when I realized,
each time,
that I was already there,
that I was already wise,
that I was already alive,
that I was already here, now,
full of and immersed in all I sought.
They served a purpose
beyond their intentions.
They thought I would
settle with them.
Instead, I moved beyond
and ended up with myself.
Everything I needed
was within me.
Is within me.
Always was within me.
And always will be.
Forever and ever. Amen.
