The Mystery

 What is different now?
 I cannot unhear
 or unknow
 the words of my Lord
 as I have before.
 Now, 
 I have read them
 and heard them
 and felt them
 in prayer,
 and they have
 seeped into
 the very depths of my soul.
 They have lifted me up
 to places above
 the worries of this world.
 What is different now
 as I have read and heard and felt
 the Way?
 It is a Mystery
 for which I will employ
 no Holmes and Watson – 
 for it is in my embrace 
 of this Mystery
 that 
 I 
 now 
 know.
