Doubtful
The doubting Thomas
The questioning
Of certitude
Doubt as such
Is not negative
Nor positive
It is the question
Of an inquiering
Mind
I doubt
for that
I am
Doubt as lead
Doubt as fall
Doubt as status quo
And yet
Blessed those
Without doubt
Doubt in relations
Doubt in profession
Doubt in science
And thus
Blessed those
Without doubt
A doubtful existence
A doubtful destiny
A doubtful life
And hence
Blessed those
Without doubt
For context: John 20:24-29
Jesus and Thomas
24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin,[a] was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”
26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
