Miraculous

I want a vision

just a small appearance, no healing spring

 

I reach back and see when You and I were in touch

 

Now I wonder if You were ever there

 

So I’d like for You to show Yourself in some small way

 

Just to give me something to steer with

He comes in when you least expect it. So keep looking Douglas. He's still there.

I'm guessing you've experienced a loss of faith Douglas.I'm not a believer myself but I can appreciate what this loss means to you. Hope you rediscover it.

Douglas,

This brief poem conjures up so much in my imagination. I shall have to read it a few more times.

Thank you for this

Keith
