Faith

Fearless horse is faith
locked in dark will languish
like airless flame or seed
by rain and light forgotten

In verdant pastures gallops
directed by the rider
conquering world by might
or selfless sacrifice

Thin as air as mighty
healer secret salve
compass to the mariner
stormy tempest calming

Faith is love in action
fire burning doubts
loaves multiplying
seven feeding thousands

If Love love attracts
Thy enemies Father scatter
with Christ and Holy Spirit
on earth Thy kingdom come 
                                   of Paradise
