Unmoored - June 1 2024

 

Unmoored

June 1 2024


I’ve become more and more unsure

of what it is I’m seeking.


Or perhaps, I’m too skeptical to be a seeker,

too grounded

in this material world

to be open enough.

Mysticism

is beyond me,

spirituality

seems too self-important.


Or is it not so much wanting to find

as wanting to be found?


Which means I’ve never not been lost.

Unmoored,

despite my attachment

to what I can measure and touch.


Not even God

could come to my rescue.

Because belief doesn’t work for me.

And because a deity

as needy as Him

does not inspire faith.


So lost I remain.

So never have belonged

and never to.

So long unsure

I've given up the search

for my place in the world

for now.
