["The Return of Faith" was written in the mid-1960s and first appeared in a journal of the American Baptist Publication Society; it was reprinted in "The Lady in the Pink Hat," Candor Press, 1969.]
The crisis swoops down
Like a broad-winged bird
Soars in upon me, it seems
To enclose my future and dreams.
The phantom of dread
Enters my darkened future
And intrudes on all my hope
Leaves me in darkness to grope.
Then like a giant crane
The wings unfold and lift
And once again I can see
Ahead, and faith returns to me.
