Frequently Floundering
by D.A. Cairns
I’m frequently floundering, forever fearing failure,
far flung, flippant and fancy-free,
forcefully finicky and inflexible,
fitfully frantic and fantastically foolish—
fit for the fiery furnace.
I am human.
Friendly, fulsome, and fervent.
Finite and fragile, but full of fearless faith,
fighting feeble fiends with feisty fists of fury,
fully furnished and fortified.
Firmly fastened, I’m fully forgiven
I am saved.
