O' Faith

O’ faith, Do you reside in tattered pages? Do you dwell in wretched thoughts? A pervading pillar to lean our hearts Vanishing when engaged eyes turn Obliterated by laughs and gambol A ghost under blankets of distraction Carried by the winds fickle temper Storing you in the nooks of bleakness Rising when pain demands answers A friend of solace for lonely souls Hope for roots stricken by privation End to the voyage of tired seekers Pillow to rest their dubiety in peace O’ faith, exercising your confidence Is testing when bitter reality bites The graves magnitude loom over us Taking a blinded leap seems foolish Knowing one day I’ll wash upon shore O’ faith, diversions shall triumph Until you have become time's fool Only then we find fruits bore or woes Until then my idle condition wanders As your essence dawns in each breath.
