Lenten Poetry: Day 31

A Gate Called Truth

Just outside Jerusalem
we came to a gate called Truth.
We called to the gatekeeper
to let us in.
"The latch is not on," he replied.
"Anyone who will can enter."
We went closer,
but seeing how great
and how heavy was the gate,
we looked for a way around.
There must be a way around.

--Ann Weems
