Dawning Creations

Someone once said,
“Humans choose to faith
to avoid accepting the inevitable.”
This can’t be it.
Though, I’m listening with
one foot in and one foot out.

Dipping my toes in,
hoping warm water will greet me.
I’m believing in the obscure,
Jesus Christ,
seeming so rare these days.

I’m outside myself for the first time,
in a long time.
I’m living and breathing.
Brave, I wouldn’t go there.
Brazen, not even close,
running up this hill, absolutely.

I’m taking it in,
taking it all in stride,
not giving up,
while standing in the rain with faith
