Blissful Ignorance?

We could remain in wonder
hold the hand of mystery
rely on what we know
but believe whats not to see

We can keep our blissful ignorance
and hold a sense of pride
but as clocks turn corners
will our ignorance have died?

And as we lay awake at night
whats to know inside?
and walking through our valleys
for what do we have to fight?

i believe that as humans most of us keep a naturally cynical nature... although we all always long for something more whether we believe its there or not. pretty much its the fact that matters of faith are so beyond anything of our complete understanding and it is hard for most to believe in something but we feel we must. we try so hard to explain things we never will in this life time. I believe that in the end... it will come to light but in the mean time... confusion reigns.

enjoyed...you know we all take life by a faith of things we see...and actions we rely on in our routine to be normal and proceed as usual....so why is faith so hard to understand?? just food for thought?
