Poetry
I live in a war zone
as all people of faith do.
The enemy at times is visible:
The atheist guest on
a morning discussion programme,
a poisonous column in a newspaper.
More often
the enemy appears
dressed in darkness
tossing stones into
my field of faith
to break the plough.
No newly turned soil
to welcome seeds,
No fresh nutrients
pulled to the surface,
No harvest to reap
Nothing to share.
His stones
trap me in a wayward past,
disqualify me from
a future blessing
and my feet stand
on shifting ground.
He thinks he has disabled me
but I am
a mountain mover.
Mustard seed faith
takes hold of all stones
and hurls them into the sea.

This is a great poem and speaks of reality. The last stanza is one of triumph and overcoming.Thanks for posting this.
