lyrics

C O N V I C T I O N


I knelt at the pews

Reciting hymns that wrapped around

And held me close

I had conviction


Then I stared blankly

Facing the abstract painting

Hanging on the wall

I was baptized with doubt


Press pleated slacks

Dirtied when I wiped my hands

Of misused written words

No longer nestled

In the comfort of the knowing called conviction


I’ll die an old man

Without a greeting of an answer

Or a purpose

And I will know that

I know nothing after years

Of searching for conviction
