Mystics
Feel different
Than the pious devout,-
They admit that there are no words
For what is simply Inexpressible,
And insist that one can not tell
Their experience is
Beyond words as
Mystics



Mystics
Can understand
The great Variety
Of religious experience
And the many faces of verity,
Of the one and only great Truth,
Of whom they cannot speak
Because they are
Mystics



Mystics
Nurture the Faith
Of the humble faithful,
But they disturb the slumber peace
Of the top religious authorities,
Mystics frustrate the exalted
And wreak ruckus turmoil
As unexplicable
Mystics
