'Diss' Avow

Faith never makes a confession. - Thoreau

What can I possibly write that's never been written?

Say what's never been said?

Do what's never been done?

Go where no one's ever gone?

Sing when I don't know the song?

How can I pray what's never been prayed?

Believing that faith isn't a two-faced traitor.

Saving it for later.

I can only draw open the shade and usher in a new dawn.

Trusting a testimony without need to guess ...

... as I woefully confess ...

Author's Note

“It is one of the signs of the times. We confess that we have risen from reading this book with enlarged ideas, and grander conceptions of our duties in this world. It did expand us a little.” - Thoreau
