Faith



a fragile thread gleams
connecting heart to unseen~
faith's soft shining dreams

the vast dark ocean
faith's small lamp guides through the storm~
rays of emotions

inner chilling doubts 
faith's steady warmth dispels fears~
soft sunshine sprouts out

when words cannot reach
faith builds a bridge to the soul~
failures, lessons teach

the mountains stand tall
faith whispers, "You can ascend"~
step by step man crawls

a tapestry rolls
each color, each thread, a faith~
a beautiful whole

a quiet morning
faith awakens in the soul~
heaven up high sings

gentle sunrise bright
washes the world, faith returns~
a heavenly light,
