David Taylor - Truth

A million faceted diamond
Reflects so many things
And in reflecting
Sends its light into the darkness
In all directions illuminating
Without any discrimination
All that comes within its sphere
And from our viewpoint
We see a bright light
Shining in our mind
And we rejoice that we
Have found the truth
But what we see
Is but one small ray of light
Reflected by just one facet
Of the eternal unchanging
Which in its full glory
Is indeed the truth
And its light reveals
Goodness and Justice
And envelops you in
Pure feelings of bliss
Dive in!
And you realise
All that went before
Was a superimposed
Imagination on reality
And no longer has credence
To hold you in its grip
Of fear.

David Taylor
