Blind Faith . . .

by Daisy Kizza
(Johannesburg, South Africa)

"When light breaks the surface

Explodes against the walls

Shining like a ray of hope

Lifting me when I fall

With a blind burst of faith

My heart beckons when it calls

And then the petals rise - and it's dark again

But still -
I fight -
moving forward -
I crawl . . . "
