The bird of faith

KATHRYN PAULSON GROUNDS

Faith is no wingless bird,
Earthbound!
Singing, it soars with joy
Fresh found
Beyond the matter-based
Earth crust,
To meet each need, each day,
With trust.
The power divine that must
Uphold
The skyward flight will still
Enfold
The boundless space beneath,
Above,
In strength and tenderness
Of love.
No chartless sky, no
star-Less night
Can stay the bird of faith's
Free flight.
Skies, days, and nights to God
Belong—
His is the power of sight
And song.
