Fervent Belief

Beyond the sky, she spreads her wings to fly Soaring freely within this sanctuary of desire Gracefully gliding through space – she’s sensually enlightened! But through treachery, a touchstone of humankind, she sighs, As humanity again, betrays her, extinguishing soul’s fire in life’s archetype, like a loss of gravity – her eyes haunted! Hearkening to violent talk, see vexed fury within her eye Wings so tattered & torn, and splattered with mire She plummets, aimlessly through belief – she's near defeated! Sceptics pollute her mind with doubts so sly but a belief so fervent, sceptics become the subject of satire A surge of hope and compelled to conviction – she is inspired! And although a lingering state of sadness, always nigh - calamities of sceptics so near and familiar, but no situation greater than she, she’s in control – she’s strengthened! Hale and hearty, she can laugh and she can cry but vanquish must the injections of sceptics to aspire, because through these woes, she is her dream – she has, survived!
