How do I say that I'm an atheist…
BECAUSE
EVEN THOUGH I DON'T EMBRACE MOST
OF WHAT THEISTS EMBRACE
I STILL CAN'T LET GO OF…
MY UNCERTAINTY

Poet's Note: It's May 21, 22 and this thought was in my head. Sometimes it doesn't look like a poem. Maybe it is just a thought, but not all poems are long drawn out lyrics. Sometimes the smallest thought can be the greatest of poems.
When I saw the picture it attracted me to what I was really trying to convey. I can declare this message with the most peaceful, content and biggest smile there is. I hold on to my doubts, not as a valued possession, but as a close friend. I hug my uncertainty like it will be my companion for the rest of my life.
I don't think I need to land anywhere.... on religion or on science. Maybe it is like being suspended between the diving board and the water, but that is where I am and, right now, I'm okay with that.
