A Little Faith on this Poetry Thursday

This is my little inspirational submission for Poetry Thursday. I love this poem and have been thinking a lot about faith. This was very appropriate for me today.

FAITH by David White

I want to write about faith,
about the way the moon rises
over cold snow, night after night,

faithful even as it fades from fullness,
slowly becoming that last curving and impossible
sliver of light before the final darkness.

But I have no faith myself
I refuse it even the smallest entry.

Let this then, my small poem,
like a new moon, slender and barely open,
be the first prayer that opens me to faith.
