Real Faith

      is

knowing

in our deep
bones

through
   empty
       space

we are forever

       free
falling....

our hearts quiver 

like a drop

of precious mercury

as we,

     no longer hidden,

     descend

time and again,

unbidden and bidden,

into intimacy’s shifting

sands, these supple arms

of uncertainty and

this spacious,

strange,

befriending

moment
