Blind Faith

Within my soul the darkest of places Locked up inside of these tiny places Sitting on the toilet to eat at the table Another animal sitting in his stable Years away from being set free All I have left is my pen and me With pen in hand I start to write Can a convict change his plight? I shall become, “The mustard seed” Can my faith become all I need? I write of joy as well as love From my cell I become a dove Though my cell is cold and gray Through my pen I shall sail away Across skies clear and blue I’m as free as any of you Freedom is a frame of mind Through my faith I am blind Through blind eyes I can see Accepting Christ has set me free I missed the contest but that doesn't matter. The message is the same. Blind faith is a wonderful gift I received in the darkest of places. Since that day my life has never been the same. I ride my faith like a surfer rides a wave. God Bless, mj
