I recently found a poetry blog called “dVerse – Poets Pub” that provides poetry prompts and allows poets to link back to their own blog from the poetry blog. Today’s poetry prompt was about knowing something is there even when we can’t see it: Poetics – Third Eye Open. I liked this prompt because it fits quite perfectly with what I normally write for my blog, and so I decided to take the challenge and write an extra post for this week in the form of a poem in answer to this prompt.
By Faith, Not by Sight
I do not see You
You are Spirit, the invisible God
Once I wondered “Are You real?”
Now by faith I believe
I do not see You
But I feel You, the gracious God
My heart understands “You are real”
Now by faith I believe
I do not see You
But I know You, the loving God
My soul rejoices “Love is real”
Now by faith I believe
Not by sight
But by faith
I see You
