I am not tendons and lungs, not just marrow and blood. There’s a self to myself no machine can perceive. If our memories and dreams make us more than mere beasts, then is a world beyond this one too much to believe?
There is faith more than feeling and grace more than grieving, I know. There are still deeper waters than these shallows I’ve sounded so far.
There are things that no man’s ever seen just as real as our bones. But we draw a line in the sand, swearing we’ll not be sold on a God we can’t see, on a heaven we can’t reach alone. There is love, there is fear, there is reason, but there can’t be a soul.
There is faith more than feeling and grace more than grieving, I know. There are still deeper waters than these shallows I’ve sounded so far. Lead me not to the edge, just to draw back again... please don’t go. Beneath the stone and the wood, behind the stars and the sun, there is more than we’ve been shown.
