today i shared a moment in time with someone broken.
in that instant –
i lost my way –
stumbled upon my journey of faith.
it didn’t seem fair.
i was not prepared for the discomfort of that particular truth.
as i made my way –
reluctantly –
away from the ledge of doubt,
i realized the purpose for this particular process.
trust.
five letters.
no less than doubt,
but more than fear.
how was it i found my way through the maze of my insufficiency,
yet failed in my effort to assist a friend stranded along the way through theirs?
what value –
this armor of consideration?
what purpose –
hollow declarations of intent?
without conviction,
the words become useless as paper umbrellas in the rain.
today i ventured outside the sanctuary of my perceive.

i finally understood the capacity –
of believe…
