Faith, Sight (For Holly Jane)


2 Corinthians 5:7's
“We walk by faith and not by sight.”
takes on whole new meaning with
optic malfunction crashing your party.

Yesterday’s expectations
threaten to crash and burn;
tomorrow’s dreams interrupted by
nightmare of undetermined veracity, duration.

Stepping into, onto darkness,
holding on come hope or high water,
walking toward the dawn.
Jeremiah 29:11’s rope swings:

 “For I know the plans I have for you,”
declares the Lord, “plans to
prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.”

Riding shotgun, pirate patched,
praying for courage to let go,
falling into the depths of Grace’s river,
floating in your strong, tender palm.
