Looking for epiphany moments
rebirth, born again, renewed
in an instant of God’s providence
maybe a wondrous, joyous pristine
a second of time, segmented, cut out
from the days of ones life,
How much simpler, more natural
the daily walk with the Lord,
brought up and living in the faith
of ones’ forebears, walking to perfection
in the family of our faith
seeing the joy of that same path
The repeated gestures, the purity
of the same words, retold
part of our lives, over and over
refrains of a message of grace
of love and redemption
paid by the savior’s blood
Without fanfare or fireworks
perhaps, but no less real,
no less a breath of magic
walking in faith, with God
one foot in front of the other
the days of our lives
