TRUTH

You are the Truth which with its death,
followed by resurrection, gives us life.
“What is the truth?” Pilate asked while           John 18:38.
washing his hands, as he delivered you;
but You are the truth, and your blood
washes away all that is sinful in us.
You are the truth which consoles us
for our death; a torrent of pure water
that satisfies our thirst, not the world
that fills our vision. That is deception
and deceit, not Nature; what we see
is an illusion of the senses,
a lure forged by a hungry death,
a death which constantly pursues us
in order to swallow us. You are the cure
for the the illusions of a deceitful world
which permeate the core of our spirit
and wrap us in never-ending error!
