John 14:1

We know the Way…

O that water on which you walked
became solid ground, sprouting faith.
Filled with hope, trusting in the way,
embracing light and life you give.

Yet, shadows billow as they may,
threatening clouds swirling around.
Acting big, but so very small,
so dull and dense, missing the point.

Replace the darkness in our midst.
Revive good sense that’s been dismissed.
Protect and guide all souls to you,
doing the good you’d have them do.

Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You have faith in God; have faith also in me. – John 14:1

As It Always Does…

The trees, becoming more life like
As they continue to grow deeper
Into their shades of spring,
Fill the air with hope,
And instill a sense of trust.
Not a sign of exactly what’s to come,
But still a sign that’s telling.
The sun will rise,
As it always does.
The sun will set,
As it always does.
Everything else?
All that lies between?
That will come and go,
As it always does.
Leaving behind the hope of days to come,
And the soul keeping faith,
Despite not knowing,
As it always does.

Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.” (Jn 14:1).
