Faith That Moves


Can you imagine a place deserted and alone

You reach out to the emptiness searching for your home

With no shoes on your feet you feel the coarseness of the sand

you look down to see that your stuck there on the land. 

Crying out you run through the brush and the trees

Filled with stress and anxiety you trip and fall to your knees. 

Tears dampen your face, you hide in your hands

you look up and realize that your stuck there on the land. 

There is nobody there, there is no living being

There is no opportunity or option of you leaving

The sun starts falling and you catch a chill

You start to wonder if there is a will

to find a way to keep on going

To get back up without knowing

whether or not you'll make it through

to reach home over the massive blue.

You sit there and stare at the sky,

the trees around you start to ask you why

you stand up and know right then

that this will not be and can not be your end

you gather your courage before it is too late

and you open your eyes because of your faith.
