                On Faith


       Faith to follow as a blind human instinct,
      not to be analysed, not to be judged yet distinct.
      Life - plant stands erect with Faith as its firm root
      to yield ‘Inspiration’ and ‘Expectation’ as flower and fruit.

      Doctor holds Faith on life to start from first breath
      to continue and last till last breath ending in death.
      About life children believe to feel free and tell
      ‘All day long to play, dance, sing or to listen to tale.’

       Young guys have faith on life to observe
        as ‘ Love is Life’ and ‘Life is Love.’
        In query of life to guy below poverty line  :
        His Faith rolls in struggle to arrange lunch and to dine.

        Political leader believes life dependent on public mass.
         Drunkard believes life to cycle around wine glass.
         ‘ Idea about life ?’ When questioned to an Architect 
           Answer came as ‘ From master plan not to deviate.’

          Intense difficult question as asked to a Scientist
          Reply from Faith comes ‘ Search and research to clear mist.’
          Intrinsic query on Life to a Mathematician 
          deals with Faith on analytic approach and calculation.

          Experiences about Life as asked to an old person
          Answer from his belief ‘ Meaningless ! All achievements are gone !’
         ‘ How to illuminate life ? ‘ asked to a saint praying to Lord
         His Faith declares‘ Humble life comes from Divinity ending in God.’
        
          Faith running, rushing, rolling, rippling , propagating
          Absolute no need of explaining or investigating.
           Eternal Faith pulsating in every human breath.
           Amazing maze of life, amusing musing on Faith.
