My faith,
Like a river,
Flowed smoothly.
Until one day,
The falls.
Crashing down,
Upon the rocks.
My freedom lost.
My river,
My faith tested,
Explodes,
Into mist and foam.
Forming rapids,
Of anger,
Of confusion,
Of doubt.
Thrashing about,
My river,
My faith,
Cries out,
“God save me”!
Then suddenly,
The rapids cease.
I am not afraid.
God has heard me.
I am calm.
I am safe.
A feeling of peace,
Freedom.
As my faith,
Like a river,
Flows smoothly,
Once again…
