TRUTH

People agonizingly search

For the illusive Truth

Even kill and maim

In its name

But Truth is not apprehended

By the mind

But by the heart

When one's heart

Is filled

With play and joy

Laughter and song and dance

Then one knows the Truth

The Truth that eludes

The heavy sobriety

Of the philosophers

And theologians
