“Leap of Faith” by Tiffany Davis-Rustam
small fluid dynamics
the barely perceptible
nourishing nuances
gently enmeshed in
the ebb and the flow
within delicate tissues
an aqueous breathing
of crystallin lenses
miraculous organs
enlighten the brain
taking into one’s ken
form and function
of all that exists
in the visible world
concrete insights
admitting of knowledge
and yet despite all
that is seen remain
deeper realities ever
invisible mysteries
vital insensible truths
that may only be reached
by one daring enough
to suspend the mechanics
of cognitive vision
shirk safety and
step from the edge
of that rational ledge
direct into the
ungrounded air
of a brave
leap of faith
