My Faith

~ My Faith ~ (Set deep in New England woods of days long gone by)... The forest held me in her spell Enchanting visions 'round yon dell Amidst the silence, peals of bells 'Twas then descried a carousel Its stallions seemed to fly right by They flared their nostrils, gave a cry I shook with fear; I don't know why Looked up to view a blackened sky... All light snuffed out; the end seemed nigh My heart's blood cold, prepared to die I clung to Faith, yet asked God why Then bowed my head for God's reply -- Dark spirits grabbed ahold of Faith I could not see aught but her Wraith

Chilling, well worded but chilling. When we lose faith, we're in trouble. When you really think it out though, perhaps we are to learn something significant from this experience, as a nation, a world? I wonder.
