This I know
MIGUEL MERINO (2019)
This I know
That I walked along looked both to my right and left,
only to be bewildered by theft.
I turned to look behind,
only that, that which is behind, to my mind,
remind,
of how much I was blind,
and instead be it declined
and turn back forward to what is assigned, and so I looked above, and saw it, that which could not be forged by humankind,
a vast and unfathomable light that brightly shined.
This I seek
That life, however oblique
It may be, death to me will not be bleak
To the meek death is like the peak
Of this realm at least
For in the next no hurt no pain, no tear nor sorrow can compete.
This I know
Though this life painful it may be
At times present much grief
It will be only for a brief
For that those who seek that light
That in my ignorance I would fight
So now I urge the Word I wield
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed
I believe therefore that all will be healed
And thus yield
This I know
My brothers and sisters who have been, I will see again in the field
This I know.
