National Poetry Month – Day 1

Theme: Fear & Faith

Fear and faith often exist in the same space. One questions, the other believes. One hesitates, the other moves anyway. Growth doesn’t always come from having no fear, but from choosing to move forward despite it. Today we explore the tension between doubt and belief, and what it means to trust beyond what we can see.
