FIERY FAITH
Flagging, floundering spirits
are revived in the
labyrinthine landscape
of the sea of faith.
Faith has a face,
transfused with wisdom,
tempered by suffering,
transmitting an air
of the most fragrant fortitude.
Faith has a fiery, far-away look,
an incredibly fast-moving brain,
and an extremely determined air
of dash and daring.
Faith has a flair for
firmly believing in the
fruitful and ultimate fulfillment
of all God's divine promises.
Faith is an inspiring
breath of fresh air
in the dark, lonesome dungeons
of doubt and despair.
Faith struggles to persevere,
struggles to hope,
struggles to endure,
struggles to live.
Fiery faith
always involves
a persistent struggle
with the mysterious unknown.
Do not fear the darkness,
only believe, for behold,
a light shines with love divine,
filling the heart with hope and joy,
as God shines His bright light upon you.
