Something Only We Know

No one chooses this path
at first or even
later on, maybe.
No one believes instantaneously
that this is from heaven
Or so they tell me.

Do they really know, though,
what it takes to trust
despite the mystery?
Do we even know, beloved,
what we should, what we must
think, say, do, and see?

This is something only we know
until we become
extensions of His heart.
This remains our secret
till everyone--or at least some--
chooses to take part...

in the unveiling,
the elucidation
of the Way, the Truth, the Life.
This is something only we know.
So are we limiting the transformation
of a world in strife?

The Truth, the Word, shouldn't
be something only we know,
my friend.
It should me something
we richly sow
into the hearts of men.
