Butterflies and Land Mines

The Mag #255




Reason is our soul’s left hand, Faith her right. ~John Donne





Faith is a white horse that must run in the black of night
and the soul is the rider that must hold on with no reins in sight.
It is a treacherous journey that requires a lot of guts.
The kind that walks through land mines with eyes completely shut.
 So let go of your logistics and reach out for something true.
A credence that is mightier than any scientific proof.
For genuine conviction is a force that moves through hardy walls
and the voice that drives it onward has an ever gentle call.
 You see the cement of the soul is full of both tenderness and might.
For faith is a true force yet enigma like butterflies and land mines.

    I like the way you incorporated shut eyes and butterflies.
    You show how much passion faith takes and how much it can be tested.

    Evocative, the sense of battle without spelling it out. Lovely.

    First - the title is excellent and provocative, then the sentiment of the dedication that's needed to take us through ordeals.
