"IN TIME PASSING.."

The pendulum swings,
Back and forth
South, then north
Was it incorruptible faith
Which shone its light,
Within, my soul's quiet searching
Or just, time passing
And my faith, inevitable
For now it shines so brightly
That, at night
Alone,
I am warmed
By a blissful inclination
To pray,
To that, which I am
Afraid
I may have let down,
While I simply
Searched,
Oh so desperately
For the truth,
In time,
Passing.....
