Poetry list
knife edge
faith is a
knife edge
precarious and
grace alone
provides the
balance
there is no
effort or poetry
on our part
just pure
unmerited love
which changes
all human
possibilities
the invitation
and the risk
are one
certainty is
blind
and certitude
paralysis
it is the
beyondness
that takes
our hand
stepping into
the nothingness
that is the
kingdom and
the glory
the knife edge
is ours
on loan from
birth and
hurtling us
into light
and life
through death’s
door and
frail flesh’s
finitude
the flash
of the blade
is the
epiphany of
salvation
