The path forward has disappeared
or so it seems. It is raining that hard.
And the trail that brought me here
is not the way back. Reason cannot
explain it. Intellect cannot understand it.
But Hurricane Delta will come and go.
Faith can see what the eyes cannot.
Faith keeps the fires of hope burning
when the cold hard truth is that
nothing will ever be the same again.
COVID came and is still here. And the
hurricanes have come one right after
the other. Both can destroy life.
We cannot see the end of COVID. Science
takes its best guess. A hurricane gust just
hit the house. Its end too is a best guess.
The eyes of hope still point to the
resurrection ahead. The meeting of the
dead and those living at Christ’s coming
in the clouds is well documented. When?
“Time unknown, but soon it will come,”
say the eyes of faith.
Don’t you see? The next COVID or the one
after that will not be for me. But the rain
will fall and the hurricane winds will blow.
But faith can see what the eyes cannot.
