WRITTEN IN THE SAND

Written in the sand

What the heart truly believes
becomes a light to reach into any uncertainty
once one no longer stands on solid ground
but slowly slips on shifting sands
towards circumstance's sea.

It is when risk is a tide
constantly washing over life
we can either see the swells
or by faith trust to their source.

Who is the question
a honest soul truly asks
when the eyes only see
the dangers of drowning.

For with the Lord,
no matter the current
or its perils,
his promises are a safe harbor
and lighthouse
no storm will ever truly
destroy.

The mind that lets the spirit's feet
walk by God's path,
feels his presence down to the toes
regardless where he leads.

Accepting that even if the journeys
beyond the shore of safety
and there dangers of sharks and riptides,
there will be in His arms
the strength given to swim
wherever he leads
seeing with the help of his Holy Spirit
His longsuffering presence
written in the sand.
