Lovely poem that speaks of the doubt we all must deal with sometimes, and the comforting feeling when we kick it out and decide to just have faith. I've been there and done that so many times. Part of trying to adjust to everything that happens to us, I guess. Very nice. I enjoyed it, and loved the descriptive passages about the world before it was 'filled.'

Beautifully written and presented, Brooke. A great message of hope and gratitude. It must be the day for writing about the sea. I just posted one too. Take care, my friend~Debbie

I love the first stanzas that set the stage for the creation. It is wonderful the way you can capture life in images. I also like the pivot to the personal and the gift of faith.

Comment from Dawny53
I have come to a point in my life where I am really doubting my faith. After reading this poem I find myself re thinking my feelings once again. I was drawn to read this because I knew after seeing your name that it would probably be worth the read. Thanks for giving me something to think about that matters.

Dear Brooke,
This was a very interesting write, putting yourself in a time before creation and using your imagination to follow the placement of life on Earth. Nicely composed and very imaginative--Ted

Great poem with a great message, especially for those of us who believe in almighty God, and his creation. Your word flow and rhyming make it specially good.

Comment from Dawn Munro
What a wonderful reminder to all that we must always be grateful; that 'this, too, shall pass'. There are always going to be rough times in life, but there is always hope for whatever tomorrow may bring.
As always, Brooke, simply beautiful! *******************!!!
