Faith is the firstfruit
of trust
conceived in the matrix
from the seed
of enduring Truth
and time-tried Knowledge.
Faith is a blind man
leaping from an inferno
into waiting arms below.
Faith is a sightless bat
negotiating pillars
from heard echoes
reverberating from hard surfaces.
Faith is the hand clasp of a child
stumbling along
a murky alley.
Faith is a woman
believing in fidelity
when her man
walks down the streets of allure.
Faith is a father
at the terminal
waving off a child
as she flies
into a strange land.
May the Father
increase the measure of our faith
As we step each day
Into the dark valley of uncertainty.
