This Is

Insidious like cancer Concealed, deceptive A thief in the night The treacherous friend – This is Doubt. Radiance incomparable Like ten thousand suns ablaze An epiphanous marvel The support beneath your wings – This is Faith. Unsteady as a rope bridge Stretching across a chasm A blind leap into uncertainty The confidence of a believer – This is Trust. Glorious like the Almighty’s mercy Having the capacity to heal or hurt All-consuming yet self-sacrificing The power that grants immortality – This is Love.
