Faith

Faith
is the certainty
that dawn will always
follow night
despite the clouds
that gallop like dark horses
across the sky

Doubt
is a sky
that believes
it could fall

Emptiness;
a universe
that forgets
it must exist
with a void

Hope
is the bird
that fly's to home,
like an arrow shot
straight into the sun
despite its broken wing

Fear;
the flower
unable to break through the snow
in case the wind
should creep up
and steal its roots away

Loss
is the stained-glass window
that breaks
inwards

Joy;
the blue flame
of rage

Hate
is when love
becomes like the starved body
that eats on itself

Scars;
a constant reminder
of forgotton pain

Forgiveness;
a perfect circle
overlapping itself
like a snake
swallowing its tail
to find its heart

God;
the infinite creation
of ourselves
sifted into
perfection.
