Fog

As fog rising off the sea

covers the sea,

so it is noble work to build

coherent philosophical discourses,

but they block the sun of truth.

See God's qualities as an ocean

and this world as foam

on the purity of that ocean.

Here is the mystery.

This intricate, astonishing world

is proof of God's existence,

even as it covers the beauty.

One flake from the wall of a goldmine

does not give much idea

what it is like

when the sun shines in

and turns the air

and the workers golden.
