Blind Faith

I think my words are far more worthy
than I am, the writer – often feeling,
grateful – but apart!  For the mind
and heart, can seem, at times, mere 
spectators to the being. Inspiration 
pouring in, as if a blessed shower
or cloudburst, from far off or high
above, somewhere outside conscious
push-and-shove. Feeling honored
to be allowed a share; pleased to know 
something far greater than I is taking 
dutiful care – for one's soul can 
be its own worst adversary; faith,
the vision of blind, dispelling 
all notion to the contrary --

Very soulful poem, Joe. Beware of the enemy, he would take our faith and use it against us. Faith in things unseen, it pleases Him. Write On! Share what comes to your heart. We don't have to understand it all, sometimes we're just the messenger. Smiles and Blessings my friend, Bill

Wonderful, profound comment! God can teach us, love us through our own unconscious words -- as we come nearer His Spiritual Voice and Ear. Thank you, my friend. Blessings!

Faith can be vision; has to be for Disciples ( not just hearers, but doers per James 1). Deep, & deeper. Thx

Thank you, Anil; there is no such thing as Blind-faith -- faith gives one greater vision and knowledge. Thank you, my friend!
