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!

Very inspirational ..and yes Faith is strong and yet so delicate i do believe,Trust and Faith are like to loops entwined in one..and with them comes Hope..Hope is the steppin step to fear when Faith and trust are gone..great poem..I really enjoyed this one ..:)Charma

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.
