the essential act

the essential act
of free will is the choice to
believe in free will

when everyone else
around me cries disaster
i will press forward

this padded helmet
will serve well in my new role
as a projectile

water is stronger 
than rocks and this patient love 
is stronger than force

this deep entrapment
is simply my position
not my destiny

god will not allow 
a gutless coward to make 
his word manifest

he will not lay down
a burden on my shoulders
that I cannot lift

my accomplishment
is bounded above by faith
below by training

success is moving
from one failure to the next
with great confidence
