Where does your faith take you ... ?
A Soldier of Christ
: Sun, wind, moon and stars. by Bicpen
Faith Poetry Contest contest entry

 

 
I see a great orb, a sun, reflecting;
Radiating warmth; light embraces earth.
I do not know how he runs, keeping time,
Circumferencing day, his golden band?

~.~

I see effects, wind`s power fierce or calm;
Gales and storm, strong demands on shallow roots.
I do not know where she begins or ends,
Listing in time; how she blows through the air?

~.~

I see dimly lit a moon ruling night,
She guides the tide, night sky's adorning light.
I do not know her secret, dark or bright;
Governed, fashioned, as a dreamer's delight?

~.~

I see planet stars, each a guiding sight,
Sometimes they flash across Orion's great belt.
I do not know reasons, how near or far;
Systems, speed or names; all are equations?

~.~

I see, yet I do not know; my faith speaks,
Beholds each will survive and rise again!
Yet, faith talks to him who commands their will;
A small universe great: I know my place!

" ... Faith is the substance of things hoped for
The evidence of things not seen ... "


 


Author Notes
Written in Pentametre except for the hanging line at the end...no specific rhyme scheme.
