Have you been Reborn?

 

A poem exploring the moment someone finds faith in any religion.

A moment from seeking to knowing, from external pursuit to internal acceptance, and from loneliness to spiritual belonging.

 Love is revealed not as something missing but as something forgotten—rediscovered through faith and self-recognition.

As they find themselves included in divine joy, celebration, or grace.

 Jubilee implies forgiveness, restoration, and release—suggesting that love is not earned, but granted through existence itself. Salute.

Title.

Have you been reborn?

(A lone voice whispers)

I once searched for love over land and sea.

Looked deep into all of life's many mysteries.

Only to find it lives within me: when I finally realized—I'm part of God's own jubilee.
