FAITH

Help me to make the giant Kierkegaardian* leap,
Pole vault over rigid Reason. and all doubt, keep
Under lock and key; forego ego’s vain dispute,
Enter bravely into firm, resolute Faith Absolute!

Take the Excalibur sword of focussed attention
Then with adoration and strong, deep intention,
Dive down into the oceanic bed of the heart,
Find ego’s source, pearl fisher’s precious art.

Cut the binding knot, and end paranoiac mind!
Halt mad fancy from driving one spiritually blind.
Total surrender of self, will turns Earth into Bliss,
Such is the blessing of our Master's loving kiss.
Greet golden morn like a new babe freshly born
Rest secure, on the breast of Divine Mother Dawn.


*Famed 19thc. Christian theologian who advocated a gigantic
leap into Faith as the only remedy for
human despair and anxiety, along with an intense inward
turning towards the ‘kingdom of heaven’
within.
