Herbert (12) My Search
I had success,power and wealth,but then,
unrest made me its pen:
Unease,dis-ease unravelled thoughts in my mind,
shalom,I could not find:
I searched,re-searched,voyaged I know not where,
trust and faith was found there:
Questions ebbed,doubts flowed 'ere I made my plea:
He heard,and now I see.
Inspired by George Herbert's double quatrain 'Hope'
