Jesus I Trust in You

Jesus I Trust in You,
I haven't always... there 

was even a time I 

thought I was atheist.

I was mad, or I made 

it seem that I was mad. 

Deep down I was so hurt. 

You and I knew but I

did not want to break 

the facade I had built.

Jesus I Trust in You,

but I never trusted 

"He is there in the Host" 

I heard some say "He is

just there as a symbol" 

I doubted that too I 

was told to "Read John 6" 

I had. Though I was taught,

no one could make that faith

enter my doubting heart.

Jesus I Trust in You,

The day I heard of a 

Mexico pilgrimage

I leapt for joy. I was 

going to fly in a 

plane. It was a goal for 

the year I abandoned.  

What I had not was the 

question: Are you really 

there in the Eucharist? 

Jesus I Trust in You,

I went into your house

hoping that you are there 

I told you all my pains 

tears running down my face 

I talked to you not as 

a God in the heavens

but as a friend. I felt 

so listened to, so heard 

I knew that you were there.

Iambic Trimeter means the usual iambic (alternating unstressed/stressed) meter for every line of the poem, but instead of the ten syllables that comprise a typical sonnet's iambic pentameter, this particular form uses six syllables of iambic trimeter per line. Thus, the name HexSonnetta.
