Atheist

Lover
you tell me
the world does not exist in such a sunlight.
Open up those crystal eyes
you whisper in my hair.

I balk
but it has taken all my life
to walk into the basement dark
and see the daylight there.
We live in such a glow
not because we do
but because we must!
All I have discovered will not be in error.  Take care 
to watch the morning with me once
without the inquisition.
Information is not all we have.

And even as I say it
I am sorry for the lie.
