This world needs faith

October 5, 2005 12:50 AM from

This shambling
half-awake
naked, pale
sickly
world
needs faith.
Not faith because of grace,
but rather
the thick, unadulterated
whole-milk faith
that moves mountains
and makes men walk on water.

Can I be the giver?
Or will my humanity
get in the way?
I ask myself this
every night
before I go to bed
trying just to slip into
blessed unconciousness.

That will be some faith you're handing out Beebles! Sometimes people forget that there is not just faith by grace but faith by other means, trusting yourself or/and your fellow human. There's nothing wrong in trying.

Hmm...how many times do I ask myself that....

Not bad, Al...not bad at all.
