Faith
I freeze the panes of life and delay its gaze
And steal away to dull the pain it takes
I stand on hills, deny the valley’s reach
By chance, I face romance I see in dreams
I slow the mazy slide of rocking faith
So dull and trite, and shocking pale
I find no time to price the sprawling flock
And sow through faith and say they won’t
I write so hoarse and sing a phrase
And fight four wars for seeing late
I split no mounds, for us, the stance we take
Pit your heart, our path and called it faith
I prized no doors, no time for grace
By faith I swore to ride a steady pace
I spelled and filled the sordid real
true tale of love, you felt we till
I write for us, in fact the daisy ties
our faith to love…what faith we ply
In parting ways, a seismic phase
our faith described as fairy tales
