Faith

I carved my greed into the sphere,

Of roving drift to keep my world afloat;

But against the flood of thy wisdom,

They were the sodden paper boats.

I wasn’t aware of what this world told me,

What marvel it has planned to bring;

But I saw the light fading in my eyes,

Along with my will to live.

My soul wanted you to prick the darkness,

But my pride ignored the need to adhere;

Trapped somewhere between the ignorance it brought,

And a relentless craving to disappear. 

I plunged my being into thy light,

To cast away the gloom I long behold; 

And you hold me tight when I trembled,

And let my truth enfold….
