Faith

To exist without beginning’s  
ultimate mystery; 
to comprehend end’s easy  
as eternity’s imagined; 
to see two ways at once 
foreword and backward’s 
impossible; 
for immune to God’s scan,  
I, a man, 
shiver my inefficiencies; 
to perceive the always was 
always will be 
inviting me to take  
His proffered hand’s 
leading me over a horizon 
I yet cannot see’s 
the firm beyond  
of belief;  
for life unending’s 
through faith  
a man.
