Trusting the Trust

Trusting  The Trust
                         	 Dr. Shefali Chitre
I trust the trust
not because
it is good
to trust.

I trust the trust 
for it 
is my habit
to trust.

I trust the trust 
for it
reminds me
of myself.

But it scares me
sometimes
to trust
the trust.

While treading 
the dark waters
carefully,
and believing
in instincts
and not opinions
my mind forms
an endless
tempest of confusion
on seeing
the sight 
of stork meditating
at the river site.

O ! mentor
tell me
if I’m
trusting
the untrustable?

Trust used to come so simply, but now, it is harder to trust. May your pen ever run gold. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs....Mike. XX Shefali Chitre March 3, 2018 at 1:54 AM Thank you Mike!
