Faith discovered Christian
Wiman
as he stared into the
cancer.
He calls it his “bright
abyss.”
I look down often
into an abyss
that is not bright.
I wonder at the absence
of the light. My abyss
is dark and deep and lost
in space and time and
fear.
My bright hope
is to dive so deep
I pop out
on the other side.

Christian Wiman was a
secular poet who discovered Christ when he got cancer and writes about that
beautifully in My Bright Abyss.
