Trusting Uncertainty
...is the cornerstone of faith.
Strange dreams lead
to an unsettled awakening,
and to feeling stranded
far from my home.
Everything seems normal
as I go about my daily routine
in familiar surroundings.
Yet I cannot find within
safe ground to rest upon.
This is when age-old spirits
are called into service.
They whisper into my ear,
Trust the uncertainty.
You can trust the uncertainty.
