Brave

Belief is a war half finished,
Draped in all that is dry
Yet carrying the waterfall of our 
tears,
Nailing their resolve to the sky.

We've hummed well enough to 
sing corpses alive
Guiding our forces lost in the 
fortress inside
Please,
Relearn to not fear laying your 
soul on the grass
And live in knowing that with all 
that has been said, nothing has.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
