Naked trust
Floundering on tossing seas
Sun glinting in wide eyes
Blinded by what comes ahead
The unseen
Looming in the distance
The unknown
Beckoning
Curious following
Is my undoing
A passionate romp
Betwixt sheets of unfulfilled promise
Yielding elation
Of full living
Exposed
Pathways stretching ahead
Opening into wide expanse
Possibility limitless
Beyond galaxies
I am
A friend sort of challenged me to try poetry…so slightly (ok very) terrified…I did.
I know it’s provocative… but if there’s one thing I’ve been learning…it’s that faith is provocative too.
This is great Logan! The Lord has been prompting me to write poetry recently too. Its funny, because I don’t even know if what I’m writing is considered to be poetry at all. But I suppose if He calls it poetry, then so will I. Keep creating! 🙂
very nice!!
So I think you (and Sarah) should consider this April poetry dare. I’ve found that reading more poetry–and trying to write some–has made even my prose better.

And I love the last line of your post. There are a lot of poems I find provocative and make me blush. But the idea that faith is also provocative makes me smile and nod.
Love this… and you for being brave and obedient! Such power in words!
