“Faith”

Feb 20, 2022 · by Editor

I know without a shadow of a doubt. The certainty – an unassailable wall for my fifteen-year-old mind. The cold stone barring the warmth of — Belonging. Doubts swoop at my head, yellow talons extended, slash at my unprotected heels. Hope might be chink-hold for my tennis-shoed foot but even a crack would have shadows. I beat my fists against the wall with no toe holds. Lorraine Jeffery is a retired public library manager living in Utah while traveling and writing. (Photo by Giorgio Trovato on Unsplash)
