POEM OF THE DAY
FIDES EX AUDITU
To…you know who you are
Faith comes by listening
so says the saint.
Saint lives by dyiing
so says the angel.
Angel comes by falling
so says the snow.
Snow stays by loving
so whispers the word, that was god.
Word comes like lightning
so says the rain.
Rain leaves by arriving
so says the wind.
Wind falls by rising
so says the thunder.
Thunder lies by rolling
so says the lover.
Love comes by leaving
so says the river.
River rolls on whispering
so says the listener.
Faith comes by listening.
Dana Pattillo.
Note: Fides ex auditu, i.e., “faith comes by listening” comes from St. Augustine.
