Something to Believe In

Believe in something,

for living without must leave us in doubt,

insecure.

Believe in yourself,

the pundits will say. But what if the way

is obscure?

Believe not at all?

What then is life for? But there must be more,

I adjure.

Believe, then, in what?

Or should I say “whom”? Who pierces all gloom,

to assure?

Believe in the Lord.

Wherever you fare, He's already there,

true and pure.

I really like the music of the song of the same title, by the Irish group Clannad, in collaboration with Bruce Hornsby. The lyrics, though, say that everybody is looking but the search is hopeless.  This is my response.
