Doubting Faith

there's no denying it truly is
awkward, bungling, flawed;

but, in unguarded moments, 
touching as a reluctant hug;

scatters the clouds of worry,
shame and regret that blur

our vision, that make us jaded,
suspicious, bored and tired;

calms down the nervousness,
tempers the anger  that dwells

within the soul of us all in this
scarred, now wounded, world.
