Faith Between the Pillars

[Blake Bowden]

I found my faith in abundance between the pillars;

I discovered the path of certainty, the spiral staircase

Up and out of my grave of doubt.

I observed the light to guide me out of my darkened temple,

The cocoon I had constructed during times of doubt.

I am on the path now, the way to the Sanctum Sanctorum,

The inner temple that I know is deep inside my soul.

Soon!

I know because I can feel it and it has been a long time coming,

I know it was worth the wait and everything comes to those who wait patiently.

Soon I will awaken from my years of doubt,

Soon I will shake off this cocoon and emerge

Reborn, a better man,

A better person,

Happy in my life,

Happy in my rediscovered faith.

A faith in me,

A faith in my fellow man,

A faith in life,

And love.

Amen.
