Grit flies from spinning rubber,
the traffic is edging through roads,
narrowed, by the plowed and pushed aside.
Curb-side snow remains; solid humps turn brown,
in an un-melting light.
A lone chicken hawk circles an iced-over acre
of snaking roadway,
its black track attracts the birds eye,
as if it were the contrail of an elongated rat,
stretching into a bolt- hole of frozen sky.

A world once wide, once free, once vast
reduced now to a room; a corner
shrinking ever smaller, closer,
nearer now's the end of this past
A past once grand, once oh, so bright
a life once new; as new as hope
now ever dimmer, ever darker
slowly grows this once clear light
A heart once vibrant, once ever proud
a beat's now softer, fainter, gentler
no race to run; no hills to climb
alone now, parted from the crowd
A seat, now empty, a lonely space
eyes still look there, hopefully
towards a corner; a remembrance
of a past now in a heart's embrace

Faith is really hard to find, even in the best of the best of your so called best friends.
Finding faith is more difficult than trying to locate a needle in a gigantic pile of hay.
Faith is common in dogs; however, faith is the toughest to find in *****sapiens.
I guess I made it clear that true loyalty is definitely not a luxurious buffet.
Bestowing and retaining trust gives us a wholesome purpose to live.
When you realize the power of faith, isn’t it greater than gold?
Trust is something only valiant people get, and in turn, give.
Devotion not only looks good on you, it’s healthy to hold.
No matter what anyone says, faith will always be hip.
Nope, it won’t die off, it won’t make you asinine.
Dedication flowers out of a valid relationship.
You’ll know when it makes you divine.
I hope you can see with your eyes,
I’m trying to narrow it down.
You see, I haven’t found it.
I’m using the philosophy
Of others who I admire
To hunt it down.
And I can
Tell you,
Anything
Is easier
To find
Than
Faith
