Unanswered Question... Poem by Trevor Schulte

Coaxing in my mind
I search to find
the unanswered question
of mankind
So many possible solutions
that take up my thoughts
so many sold out answers
just waiting to be bought
Paid for with devotion
to its true authenticity
I am held to content
with its mazed simplicity
Oh how I could say one thing
but mean the other
not finding the resolution
but continuing to smother
I lack the trust
in my straightforward cognition
settling back
in a convinced, wavered rendition
It is what our Lord
has layed as the foundation
What others who lack belief
yearn in fascination
To step out with no surety
into a place of no security
would be to reach the point
of the summed maturity
I hold out a hand
and close my eyes
fearing the outcome
of pure surprise
Can I reach for the stars
and start to confide
this inner trust
that I continue to hide
Maybe if trust and confidence
are where I am based
I can answer the unanswered question
of living in faith.
