Renewal of Faith

       Renewal of faith at dawn
         Despair as day dwindles to dusk

       Ascension with the rise of the moon ~
         Depositing my soul with the Almighty soon

I’m in agreement with Tom! We need you here dear but having you dedicate to God is wonderful.

I like the word placement for the first word of each line, 'renewal, despair, ascension' - big picture words with time images of dawn, dusk and moon , and the last, like a bank entry, 'deposit(ing)'. 'Dwindling' is such a sad word, more than 'fading', or 'losing' (especially next to 'deposit'). Faith by definition is future, and 'soon' brings it forward. For me, being held is as much or more than 'holding on'. J :)

Can you tell my wife what you've written, Tom. She's in the penthouse, and I'm in the dog-house.

When we renew our faith, we get a fresh energy... an antidote to all despair! As we deposit our soul in the hands of God, we ascend to Heaven's realm. Well done, dear Gershon.

Hopefully, the ascent will be swift and sure...
