Musings on Faith Contest Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the depths of my musing, I ponder faith,
A mystical brood shapes our inner swathe.
Upon whispers of optimism and grit may imbue,
Leading us via our lifespan with a zeal that's true.
In past lives—erased are precincts we knew,
In disparate races and cultures, we grew.
All exalt God in omnifarious shapes and names.
Subsequent comely rituals, we are all the same.
Faith sees the unseen—believe in the impossible.
And a cynosure conflate seemingly unattainable.
It's a bridge between the diaphanous and the unknown.
nexus of ebullience, on which our lives are sown.
Faith isn't sequitur that God will grant our desires.
It is a belief that God will act equitably—he's higher.
If faith may evolve in the future's embrace,
Then, what do we feel is the pinnacle of grace?
Is there an unequivocal, unshakeable truth?
So crude above texts, signs, labels, or sleuth?
Fear can drive you to be detrimental, ill, or fail.
It will only rarely advocate for you to prevail.
Incarnation is the final goal of God's service.
Cannot be separated from human purpose.
A person felt to be another rebirth of a departed.
A lama or other high-ranking master charted.
Some reckon souls evolve from life to time.
Rebirth—reincarnation—is simpler and intime.
It transcends the verge of human perception.
And exists beyond our limited conception.
It's not just a concept or a word to recite.
But momentum ignites—a spark of divine light.
In the depths of my musings, I realize,
Faith is the thread that connects our lives.
It exposes us to share such a vast world.
A sign that love lasts and will not unfold
Deep inside my mind, I wrestle with thrall.
Faith is the foundation on which we stand tall.
In the recesses of our souls, we learn.
That belief is not limited to any one concern.
It's a syntax that everyone can understand.
A divine bond that breaks through every stand.
So let us cherish the enigma and the unknown.
And let our trust in its depth be shown.
For in finding faith, the far-flung vastness
We lay the pinnacle of verity, our epic aptness.
