Surrounding Faith Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Tiptoeing through the night in splendid silence,
filled with awe at the great quiet and stillness
under the stars.

Sharing nighttime environments with other creatures
of the evening, believing in images seen and felt
inside.

Crossing human boundaries of peace - descending
into realms of quiet contemplation, sensing the
faith held so long inside.

Feeling it's depth enveloping my soul in it's
serene beauty.

Reaching out gently, timidly, to touch the magical
hidden beauty seen through God.

All around are images, floating on their own,
parading an intensity of faith in being.

Reflecting the light throughout life-penetrating
minds of creativity and gentle beings.

Throughout time and eternity, all of faith surrounds
us and through some form of gentle praying, forms
itself deeply within our beings, our souls, if we
allow it.
