Unless

Unless I can see what I do not know ~

it’s not true……is it?

Unless I can touch those that are too far away ~

I can’t be part of their lives ……am I wrong?

Unless I can smell what is behind the door ~

it’s not real……is it?

Unless I can hear the voices of others ~

I’ve forgotten them…….have I?

Unless I can taste the flavours ~

it’s not really nourishment……is it?

Unless I can see what I do not know ~

my faith may be shaken….. but not for long.

“This is why I read novels: so I can escape my own unrelenting monologue.”

~ Carol Shields, Unless
