Walking In Faith

My world feels dark,
abandoned by the light now hidden.
Every inch moved feels wrong,
doors slam shut.
Logic is no longer logical,
the compass spins.
Direction now unclear,
jarred by foreign terrain.
Walking alone stifled by darkness,
tumbling out of control.
Crying out at the blackness,
trapped in my own hell.
Anger strikes,
igniting rage.
Lashing out against darkness and God,
maddened by my own weakness.
Beaten down,
even breathing exceeds my control.
Frustration stagnates my being,
unable to move forward or back.
Paralyzed by fear,
the unknown pushes me to a breaking point.
Broken I fall,
humbled to my knees.
Confronting defeat I pray for mercy,
no longer caring if heaven or hell waits.
My way is lost in this darkness,
only God can guide me out.
I surrender to this storm that is my life,
my knowledge becomes cunning deception.
A lifetime of understanding,
elapses into nothing.
Who I thought I was is a lie,
a deception of my true being.
Not fully understanding this mystery,
yet knowing there is reason for everything.
In the moment of nothing,
peace and light wash through.
I see darkness as the illusion,
light breaks in and I begin to move.
Stepping forward to walk in faith,
knowing now the way.
Seeking truth with the innocence of a child,
and the surrendering of a virgin.
Opening to a universe of color in motion,
that shimmers in the once hidden light.
Unveiling what mere eyes could not see,
blind faith leads me to a paradise of no compare.
Realizing a universe beyond imagination,
seeing the light where I thought there was none.
Marveling there could be no other way,
I had to know darkness to recognize light.
In relinquishing myself to the unknown,
I found the path to love, peace and joy.
Laughter and tears flowing together,
tears for the doubt and laughter for the journey.
