Searching for Why

Searching For Why is more than a book of poetry. It is a reflection on life, faith, and love through my sixty-six years of living. It is retrospective, philosophical, and at times challenging. It speaks of those moments in life of love, heartbreaks, chaos, frustrations, and spiritual discovery that we all share. And through it all, searching for...why?
"Poor choices have short term negative consequences. Bad decisions have long term negative consequences. Try to make as few poor choices and even fewer bad decisions in this life and you will do well."
Ken Wingate
SECRETS HELD
In the deepest part of me
Is the darkest part of me
That none shall ever know
That none shall ever see
The secrets held inside that place
The secrets that I hide
Will never see the light of day
Will still be there the day I die
Don't judge me harsh with pompous minds
Don't judge me in the least
For within every one of us
Are the secrets that we keep
You can lie to all you know
You can lie to even you
But the secrets are still there
So, none will know yours too
GOD IS
God is.
God is not
what men want God to be.
For God is not
a bull-headed he.
Nor is God
a much wiser she.
For God is They,
The Holy Trinity,
yet one Holy Deity.
The Creator, Beloved, and Presence
three spirit entities.
Yes, separate spirits,
in perfect harmony,
as They have been
all eternity.
For God is spirit,
not of flesh, you see.
God is much more
than you or me.
God is and reigns,
in all Their majesty.
God is everything,
and is all I need.
God is,
is what I believe.

Ken Wingate has been writing his thoughts concerning life, faith, and love through poetry, passages, and songs for over fifty years. In his first book Searching For Why, he shares some of these thoughts with the hope that you may gain a deeper understanding of yourself, life, and faith in God.
