I have seen faith, felt her
Gently on my face like morning light
I have gazed into her
Naked outright sun like a child
The word ‘faith’ means
An experience of elevation
To that which is properly invisible
A dewdrop or a floating leaf
The yearning for horizons unclear
Even if you dreamed, with open eyes
The faith of the future would
Persuade you that something special
Is near, a luminous speckled light
From some mysterious source
I have seen faith, felt her
Like water on my thirsty lips
I have thought her in my mind
Bringing me closer to nature
Where a brief second seemed
To last a year, I have been that flower
That forgot how not to bloom.
