Doubts:

 

Sterile clues lead me to

wondering why I have no

real knowledge – the map

of life is clearly dangerous,

 

too weary to take that chance

so will decline this situation,

be it clear what I own...staying

closer to what I know is truth.

 

Answers:

 

If you have courage be not afraid,

don't forsake but embrace each

moment – for those shifting tides

give welcome to the lonely soul,

 

like a flower opens

let your light shine,

be bold and fearless

for it's your birthright;

 

flourish like blooms

growing in Eden's garden,

pure...unaffected beauty,

as deep as the Ocean, giving life.

The tension of wanting to be bold, but realising the limits of our/your understanding in situations?

That's when I find faith comes in, but with a need to submissive prayer that I'm willing to be stopped if I am just being unwisely impulsive, or silly or selfish, but if so know I'll be guided into what will be good, and better (and will still need courage and faith and be a challenge).

Hi Rhiannon,

so many times in life we're given choices, those many forks in the road that we have no idea where they lead us, but our beliefs are the one truth that gets us through. It's only when we reflect later do we see how much our faith has given us and how thankful we should be.

I do so appreciate your thoughts and thank you for sharing them with me.

I like the flow of your thoughts in this poem. The doubts: echo in us all. The answers: simple and true if we listen. We all need to let our lights shine. smiley

Hi Penny,

thank you so much for your words of wisdom. Sorry I've taken so long to reply, been away from the computer for a week on holiday.

Will be over to check out your story when I've got time.

Many thanks again.
