you have to have faith before
the water holds weight
stretches taut underfoot
pulls firm, takes shape
of a wave-shaped floor
moving under as you stroll
baby, miracle or not - you need
to balance your roll
because one foot wrong
is all it takes to slip slide
let your gravity glide
off its center, good-bye!
because the faith that it takes
to walk tall, and stand proud
on the surface of a lake
without a ripple of doubt -
well, that's a piece of cake compared
to keeping your faith in place
- to keep the miracle intact
while falling flat on your face,
and then splash to black.
