My Religion

Tristan Robert Lange

I don't need religion
To find out what is true.
I don't need religion.
All I need is you.
 
I don't need religion
To tell me what is true.
I don't need religion
To point me to you.
 
I don't need religion,
To point me the way—
Just my faith and you
Present with me today.
 
You are what is true
And that is all I need
To stir my hurting heart,
And plant a healing seed.

    This poem can be read as a tender declaration: simple, steady, and quietly profound. It reclaims the language of faith and devotion not for institutions, but for love made real and present in another person. The repetition of “I don’t need religion” becomes less a rejection and more a release (of dogma, of distance) in favour of something human, immediate, and healing. In its final lines, where heartache meets hope, the poem blossoms into something like prayer, but with open hands instead of folded ones. 🕊️🙏🏻

    A poem that is holding to most people's feeling today. A poem of spirituality more than religion. Nicely stated Tristan

    A lovely writing ..
    Especially like the last verse ‘ plant a healing seed ‘

    Some people are religious .. some people more ‘ spiritual ‘
