Charles Coon Poet Blank verse

Transcendence

is both sought and unsought
the unsought is the reality
the prevalence of grace
through all of our seeking..
But the seeking in our experience
is an expectation that our seeking
with diligent pursuit and care 
will yield a result and reward
of the very happiness sought..
Indeed snippets of transcendence
are found as  reward for diligence
but the snippet soon dissolves
returning we suppose to
its measureless Source...
Seeking soon continues 
searching once more with
reinforced expectation that the
snippet might be found once more..
How many searches we wonder
before an all-at-once discovery
that each of us is fully captured
immersed and made of
the unsought transcendence
we have been seeking...

Charlie Smith March 18, 2017 at 2:27 PM Isn't seeking transcendence the basis of religion? Wouldn't discovering our capture be the ultimate answer to one's faith? You got me thinking, thanks Charles... Charles Coon March 18, 2017 at 2:52 PM Yes...Charlie..we might say that religion is about seeking, and perhaps not finding until the Source of religion becomes clear...Thanks, Charlie...Charles
