Should mortal men whose days are few
and as fleeting as midmorning dew
evanescing in the sultry sun
question the Eternal one?
Has wisdom uncreated erred?
And yet to think how many dared
and ventured to give reason
to join this base, foolhardy treason.
Should we doubt Eternal Love’s designs?
Should we hide away from brazen signs
which will and must be seen by all
by even those who choose to fall?
So tell me which direction
should we channel our suspicion,
Godward, fleshward, to Deity or man?
to berate the impotent, or him who can?
To doubters, let the same return.
Let spurning be for those who spurn.
May caution check each fleshly word
and mirror distrust. For how absurd
that speech should slander him who gave it’s voice.
Doubt, no doubt, must make a choice,
Broken cisterns or eternal wells?
Denying Christ or infidels?
