"Faith is for that which lies on the other side of reason."

-Madeleine L'Engle

The warm air you feel while walking in the cold

An echo of the past in cries of the babe you hold

The invisible squeeze of a hand after a loved one's passing

A clenched fist at God after one of life's thrashings

The cheer of sunlight through a torrent of rain

A sense of gratitude even after the pain

Taking a leap and putting fate to the test

The talk to a dear one after they've laid to rest

A sensation of peace after a heartfelt prayer

The search for truant truth that isn't there

No form or function, no clockset or season

Seem to govern those things from the other side of reason...

There is so much truth in your words, Linda. Science has no way to measure these things, though we all know and understand their existence.
Nice job on this write.
Take care,
Sherry
