Faith

A mountain of faith Like a mountain of dust A good gust of wind Will banish all trust Faith likens hope Delusion to some To others the vision of Great things to come Foolish is he who stands Twixt the two, for he Risks the wrath when He faces taboo Better he sit's on polemical Fence, than enrage the Faint hearted with no Recompense!

A mountain is not made of dust though, it is made of rocks, it is quite solid. A gust of wind will not banish it. It is also good to live with hope. It helps one remain positive and with this kind of mind, many things can happen leading toward success and happiness. :) Interesting write, David, thought provoking and well written. Thank you also for your kind comments on my poems. Best wishes, Caroline.
