Faith's Journey: A Metaphor

Faith's Journey:
A Metaphor

In my journey I traversed
hallway without windows:
Without cessation or interruption,
I walked through artificially lit corridors
that lead to caverns illuminated
by various degrees of sunlight.

In my journey I traversed
corridors without windows:
Around blind corners
I trudged
to find dead ends,
secret doors,
locked gates,
or blocked portals.

In my journey I traversed
passages without windows:
Through arrow slits
I caught glimpses of my goal;
momentary views
of the hidden garden
in the center of the maze.

I wrote this in 151 B.E. The inspiration was meditating on parts of my spiritual journey.
