The New Year Cometh

Some thought it was ending,

but it's really just starting,

new year has arrived.

The Mayan calendars

were understood as we were finished,

it seems that this was wrong.

So our lives go on

as we knew before,

our days continuing forward.

So I've one wish

I'd like to share,

and I hope you'll wish this too.

That during this year

we'll conquer hate

and give all great reason to celebrate.

Heartless

There are some who'll take advantage

while another's chips are down.

They'll act as they're a victim

seeking a profit from a frown.

They prey on those with broken hearts

and others who offer their aid.

While inside they smile not giving a damn

living their life as one big charade.

They're using your pain to increase their gain

How did they become who they are?

Why do they steal faking your pain that is real?

Their minds and hearts must be truly bizarre.

Now those who've been cheated and suffering the pain

carry with them the rest of their lives.

A feeling of guilt and a hole in their heart

while emptiness is all that survives.

Where's their compassion, where is their care?

They've no care of the cost on your part.

As long as they get theirs they're shouting who cares.

It's plain to see they just have no heart.

We Are All Truly Brothers

When it comes to our bigotry
we're born pure, without it.
But in the wrong environment
we tend to learn and form it.


Coming then from parents
yes from family and our friends.
We're often taught to share their hate
and their prejudice extends.



They bring us up to be like them
not realizing what they've wrought.
It's likely not their fault at all
it's just what they've been taught.



But others live within our world
we can seem different as night and day.
These differences though they be few
should never get in our way.



Just as we've then learned to hate
we can also learn to love.
If not from those surrounding us
let it come from up above.



Whether from Yahweh or from Allah
The Great Spirit or from Jesus
the one we like to call our God
our creator is who can teach us.



This love now that we need to show
should be extended to all others.
It's time that we start treating folks
as we are all truly brothers.

Are We on a Road to Bigotry or Love

When we listen

we hear.

If what we hear are lies

the lies enter our minds.

When we look

we see.

If what we see is evil

that evil tries to take up residence in our hearts.

What we hear and what we see

mold what we believe.

If that which enters us is wrong

we must learn to recognize and purge it.

What we believe

shapes our thoughts and feelings.

How we understand these

determines how we act.

Our actions

tell others who we are.

Whether we are filled with love

or hate

How do we want to be known?

For that love, for our hate.

That decision belongs to us

it's a choice we make.

What Choice Do We Have

We follow a path

to a destiny chosen.

Is this a choice that we make

or is this road we're on frozen?

Just how much control

do we have where life leads us?

Are we willing to follow

or do we just make a big fuss?

The doors that do open

they've been placed for a reason.

They're there for our growth

and to teach us this season.

So what is the purpose

of this free will we've been given,

if this frozen path that we're on

is really just driven?

The answer I don't have

only the question.

Is the road that I follow mine

or divine intercession.

Broken Bonds as Life Moves On.

As the road moves on

and our lives evolve

many memories

do often fail.

The broken bonds

which once were strong

become hidden

like a holy grail

They're not really gone

just quite neglected

as new doors

present themselves.

Once through these doors

a new path beckons

calling our names

to get off the shelves.

To travel these roads

moving on to new heights

guiding us towards

our destiny’s.

Regrets of the past

slow the blessings to come

along this new life

with it's melody’s.

The songs that are sung

and although they are new

will often sound

familiar to you.

Then memories will come

days gone by will return

and the bonds of your past

will come back anew-ed.

T'is the Season

Deep in the corner there stood a strange tree

with an unusual effect

it was talking to me.

It had these bright shiny ornaments on all of it's boughs

and an angel on top

not allowing my drowse.

The lights flashed so softly, it was a comforting glow

announcing the season,

letting me know.

T'is the time now for giving it's arrived once again

but why just at Christmas

the poor we have with us my friend.

Why is it we seem to ignore this all year

and only equate it

to eight tiny reindeer.

The needs of the poor who are human like us

are so easily forgotten

why's our giving so brusque.

Do we not care about those hungry and cold

haven't we learned

or have we just gotten old.

It could have been me, no it could have been us

that others ignored

and thrown under the bus.

I'm lucky enough to have not gone over that ridge

while others are barely surviving

living under a bridge.

Do we let them go hungry, do we let them stay cold

are we so blind we can't see

it could have been us in that mold.

That's why it's always the time whether we're from suburbs or hood

that we be working together

for the worlds common good.

Our Children, Gone in a Moment

Children gone

in the blink of an eye.

I sit here weeping,

wondering why.

So much now is lost

that will never be found.

As the blood of our children

now covers the ground.

It's not just those

of Aurora and Newtown.

But also in war zones

making us frown.

This killing goes on

it's totally senseless.

With most of the victims

completely defenseless.

The victims are children,

fathers and mothers.

Not only those killed

but sisters and brothers.

Lives changed forever

in ruins in a shamble.

Survivors left behind

who can only mutter and ramble.

For where has this world gone,

how deep has it sunk.

With the actions of many

treating life as mere junk.

How did we get here,

which road did we take.

This path to destruction

why weren't we awake.

Is there an answer,

can we return?

To a life as we knew it

a life with concern.

Concern for our neighbor

not only next door.

But for those we've not met yet

our love should out-pour.

The Gospel of Love

They've a gospel of love

but that's only within.

To folks who are just like them

with skin oh so thin.

If you tell them that others

around them teach love.

They'll deny it and say

love only comes from above.

Though they may believe true

in their heart and their mind

to them “from above”

has it's limits that bind.

If you don't think just like them,

your beliefs not the same.

In their eyes you are evil

as you don't play their game.

They deny love exists

outside of their God.

Feel their faith may be shaken,

they remain quite tight jawed.

But the truth of the matter,

true love comes from within

and to me what this shows,

is their faith's pretty thin.

So if love resides in us

our outside will show it.

Not confined to the few

but be shared without limit.

True Friends

True friends they are precious

that's why there are so few.

How many folks out there

will drop all just for you.

For the most part we're selfish

that's just how we are.

Our priorities are held close

seldom traveling very far.

But once in a while

one may come along.

Open your eyes and your heart

they'll emerge from the throng.

So if you're lucky to find one

you should count yourself blessed.

For the bond you will find there

will survive any test..

A New Dawn

A new dawn breaks,

over the rich and the poor,

in this land we wake to it's call.

Though many it seems,

think it's only for them,

this day has been given to all.

It should not matter,

the color or creed,

the gender or position in life.

For we all have the right,

to expect to be treated,

as our child, our husband or wife.

Yes the dawn brings to us,

a joyous new day,

one that offers a brand new chance.

The opportunity arrives,

for to start life anew,

whether at work, at home or romance.

It's not like this doesn't happen,

with each brand new day,

this really is not something new.

For life offers a new chance,

with each new dawn,

it's call is not just for me, it's for you.

So today, look around,

view the world with new eyes,

show respect, give each person their due.

You'll find your heart filled,

in a way you've not known,

while this dawn molds and reinvents you.

I'm Not Disabled

With the loss of an eye

comes a deep and dark sorrow.

The self pity you feel

doesn't leave by the morrow.

Feeling sorry for self

really does you no good,

it's not like your life's over

your loss is misunderstood.

There's a time of adjustment

that seems far too long,

such as depth perception

you're always an inch wrong.

Peripheral vision

is removed from one side

you bump into many things

that you come up beside.

But those things you don't see

aren't the things now that matter.

It's the things that you do see

you should keep on your platter.

When you still have one eye

you can see to your needs

you need not be held back

this disability misleads.

It gives you the chance

to accept and reflect

just how good that you have it

that your life's not been wrecked.

You can walk and still talk

you can drive and play ball

you can still watch your grandchildren

as they grow strong and tall.

You see, your life is not over

and there's no need to cry

you're not really disabled

it's all been a lie.

So now I sit thankful

for this lesson I've learned

seeing all of life's beauty

found every way that I turn.

Words Without Muse

When words go away

leaving you nothing to say

emptiness fills you.

Your life still goes on

as you're used as a pawn

yet nothing feels right.

So what can you do

when inspiration leaves you

it cannot be forced.

As I have tried here

to force these words without muse

my point is made clear.

And now here I sit

the emptiness has not left

my direction lost.

Rainy Day Golf

Once upon a day so dreary

I'm feelin' oh so tired an' weary.

It's been rainin' for three nights and days

keepin' me from golf an' play.

Don't know what tomorrow will bring

as I clean my clubs an' golfin' things.

The wife, I'm getting' on her last nerve

givin' help she don't want but does deserve.

Now don't get me wrong, we got lotsa love

but when I'm hangin' round like this she needs help from above.

She says take off get outta the way

go find a game in the rain you can play.

But it's golf that I love, you all know about that

so I take the umbrella and find that rain hat.

Then I take off to play knowin' full well I'll get wet

but it's better'n argue'n yep now that's a good bet.

With a nose that starts drippin' an' shoes that are soaked

I'm playin' my golf, oh man am I stoked.

Got no care in the world today about score

an' with nobody else out here won't have to yell fore.

So I finish my round and I had some great fun

it's my wife I should thank as this day's a homerun.

Golf In The Fall

When living up north

and golf is your game

when fall comes about

nothing at all seems the same.

The trees change their colors

they're a site to be seen

the beauty you witness

is almost obscene.

But we have a real drawback

to golf in the fall

it's the leaves on the fairways

that are hiding your ball.

The ball seems to vanish

even with a straight shot

making the search last for hours

leaving you quite distraught.

Now wait, there is more

if you do reach the green

the leaves they are there too

it's a terrible scene.

You can't putt the ball

without a yard rake

at the end of the round

your score is a fake.

But none of this matters

whether the leaves or the wind

you're still plying golf

don't go feeling chagrined.

The Cost of Freedom

When freedom is obtained through struggle,

the cost that is paid is death.

That cost is most oft paid by soldiers,

expelling their very last breath.

For you and me and our children,

they go to war and they fight.

So we can here enjoy freedom,

protecting all our rights.

The right to worship as we wish,

the right to speak our mind.

The right to report on our government,

when we feel so inclined.

What kind of people do love us so,

that they will give for us their lives.

Fighting and dying for you and me,

insuring America survives.

They're patriots the lot of them,

sons and daughters,

brothers and sisters,

husbands and wives.

They're giving it all just to keep us safe,

our country and all of our families.

So hold freedom dear and all who have fought,

remembering all of the casualties.

So stop for a moment remembering those dead,

as you're warm and safe by the hearth.

Considering what freedom has cost us,

To you what is freedom's worth?

Healing The World One Person At A Time

How does the world fare

does it need to be healed.

Seems as though it must

hate resides in most fields.

That hate in these fields

wider spread than you'd think.

Threatens us all

damn, our attitudes stink.

Our ways need some changin'

that's real plain to see.

But knowin' it's needed

ain't enough, you agree?

So where do we start?

How do we mold change?

There must be a method

that isn’t too strange.

And where to begin

that's a problem itself.

Here's a novel idea

we start with our self.

Just look deep inside

find your faults and your flaws.

Before ripping others

with bigoted claws.

Show love and compassion

to all that you meet.

Whether at home, next door

or out on the street.

If you can then by chance

help just one living soul.

It will be the first step

toward changing the whole.

If by changing just one

and he passes it on.

Another step's taken

we've birthed a new dawn.

Now then the changed

although only a few,

Can show others the way

that they can change too.

Compassion

Compassion --- the caring for others who need.

Compassion --- the feeling for others who hurt.

Compassion --- the love offered to others who have none.

Compassion --- the lifting up of others who are down.

Compassion --- the willingness to catch others who have fallen.

Is it in your heart?

Is it part of you?

Do you sit and talk?

Do you stand and do?

From inside of us

comes a quiet voice.

Then on the outside

we must make the choice.

Do we have it inside of us?

Is it alive, is it well?

Does our life show we have it?

From our heart, does it swell?

For compassion is something

when it's real people know,

That you're really there for them

no matter where they go.

Without a Dream

Without a dream

we have no vision.

Without that vision

we are blind to life.

We have no vision

there's no direction.

We are blind to life

not knowing where we are.

There's no direction

in lives without purpose.

Not knowing where we are

there is emptiness.

In lives without purpose

people flounder and fail.

There is emptiness

down deep in their soul.

People flounder and fail

till their dreams return to them.

Down deep in their soul

they can once again see.

Courage

The lion wanted courage

what he lacked was confidence.

He had no belief of his own

he always rode the fence.

His thoughts were that he couldn't

it didn't matter what it was.

If you asked why he didn't

he'd shy away, say just because.

He never got the strength he needed

from his family or his friends.

So he joined a group to see Oz

all the while offering up amends.

Old Oz just couldn't help him

as the problem was all within.

He had to start thinking the right way

if in life he wanted to win.

Oz told him he had to believe

telling himself over and over again.

That all things can soon be accomplished

from negative thinking he must always refrain.

So keep to the positive thinking

and hang with your positive friends.

Reach deep and draw from within you

to find courage, that's what Oz recommends.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

something that's needed in life.

To free us

from inner frustration and strife.

Most think from sin

and falling to life's evil temptations.

Yet moreover from self

and our self condemnations.

When we harbor the past

never letting it go.

We hold our lives back

never letting them grow.

We must give it up

let it loose to be free.

When held onto it festers

so head this decree.

Self condemnation is

no longer allowed.

Henceforth you'll stand tall

and act as you're proud.

Can We Move Forward

The direction we take

whether forward or back.

Seems to be something others

will often attack.

Sometimes forward can scare us

moving toward someplace that's new.

While returning to where we've been

actually frightens a few.

Moving forward enlightens

enriching our life.

While backwards returns us

to periods of strife.

Our country seems split

as to which way to go.

But with nothing but gridlock

we'll just never know.

So if nothing gets changed

in our mighty congress.

We'll suffer stagnation

and never progress.

Morning (Cinquain)

Morning

Undemanding, Uncomplicated

Arousing, Awakening, Activating

A time that prepares us for that which lies ahead of us

A Beginning

Desire (Cinquain)

Desire

Innermost, Heartfelt

Tenderly, Thoroughly, Triumphantly

Moves us toward the realization of our vision

Fulfillment  

Choices

In life we have choices

they're forever with us.

Some are not quite so easy

and we oft make a fuss.

There are those we don't want

to deal with at all.

Fearing that if we did

we're in for a fall.

The unknown it scares us

it worries us so.

We're afraid it will take us

where we'd rather not go.

But we cannot ignore them

they just have to be made.

If we expect out of life

to be making the grade.

So make them my friend

it is time for decision.

For if you put it off and wait

you'll not achieve your vision.

A Mothers Heartbreak (Cinquain)

September

Empty, Lonely

Anxiously, Awkwardly, Frantically

Waiting as my baby leaves for school the very first time

Heartbreak

The Treasure and Tragedy of Wealth (Double Cinquain)

Wealth

Utilized, Applied

Deliberately, Honestly, Genuinely

Makes a life worth living when shared as a blessing

Treasure

Wealth

Accumulated, Hoarded,

Gradually, Continually, Devastatingly

Ruins a life when it is looked on as God

Tragedy  

Hate (Cinquain)

Hate

Ugly, Untamed

Unceasingly, Unrelentingly, Utterly

Eats away at our spirit, tears our lives apart

Annihilation

Must be let go of if we are to survive.  Harboring
hate destroys self while the target of that hate
goes on seldom affected. 

Heartbeat (Cinquain)

Heartbeat
Demanding, Driving
Earnestly, Continually, Faithfully
Sending us forward to do what we know to be right
Serve

I Know A Few Christians

I know a few Christians

they know who they are.

Oh no not just talk it

yes they walk it by far.

They know who they are

they don't just sit in the pew.

Yes they walk it by far

they do what Christ said to do.

They don't just sit in the pew

they know it takes action.

They do what Christ said to do

receiving great satisfaction.

They know it takes action

not just giving tithes.

Receiving great satisfaction

earning their prize.

Not just giving tithes

as some think earns them favor.

Earning their prize

from the one they call Saviour.

Patience (cinquain)

Patience

Immeasurable, Inexhaustible

Invigorating, Intensifying, Intently

Allowing another the time and freedom to find themselves

Illumination

When God Collides

My God he ain't your God

oh no he ain't not.

You see, you don't unerstand

what we got.

You know he's on our side

he ain't never on your'n.

Cause we know that ya'll believe

is doin' nuthin' but chorin'.

Why don't you start listenin'

an believin' like us.

Otherwise when he come

you be missin' the bus.

I don't unerstand

why you can't think like me.

Afer-all we the right ones

an dat's meant to be.

What you mean you not Muslim

an neither a Jew.

I know you say you Christian,

preacher says question your view.

It seems that some churches

that worship one God.

Just can't seem to get along,

I find this so odd.

I'm So Damned Important

I am so important

you cannot walk by my side.

That's right, so important

you belong two steps behind.

My words are so important

what you say just doesn't matter.

Yep, so important

all your words are just some clatter.

My opinion's so important

you will hear it all day long.

Time to listen, that's important

don't you know, I’m never wrong.

My time is so important

I can't not waste it on your problem.

To me that's not important

don't have time for all your drama.

So you see I'm all important

on my word you can depend.

That's right, I'm so damned important

I have no-one to call friend.

Words To Live By

We must take what life gives us,

making the best out of it.

Otherwise all we'll do,

is turn it to shit.

Lies (Cinquain)

Lies

deceitful, dishonest

demeaning, destroying, demoralizing

removing trust and ruining relationships

devastating.

Truth

Truth, is it something we seem to have lost?

Now if this is so, have we counted the cost.

For the lies that we tell others during this life

most often bring hurt, heartache and strife.

The cost to our children and others we love

all those blessings we've lost from a great God above.

Truth shouldn't be left just to simply depart

we must hold it tight and close to our heart.

For truth sets you free, you'll not need to remember

a life full of lies during your life's December.

Stinkin' Thinkin'

Life as we know it

can often seem empty.

Without love for self

it just seems to pass by.

The days and the months

seem to linger like years.

A problem that's stemmed

from between our two ears.

We act as not worthy

to receive happiness.

Without it life slows

and becomes quite a mess.

We swear no-one likes us

and don't feel accepted.

So we put on a mask

giving away what's expected.

We're no longer ourselves

we've surrendered our lives.

We can't turn this around

if our spirit takes dives.

Now don't think all is lost

you can turn this around.

Though your ship seems have sailed

it's not run aground.

The problem you have

is all in your thinkin'.

You need to turn it around

so it's not always stinkin'.

The Seasons of Life

Spring

A beginning

A time of new growth

A new season in life.

Summer

A blessing

A time to play

A season of warmth.

Autumn

A back breaker

A time to provide

A season of responsibility.

Winter

A breather

A time to reflect

A season of rest.

Spring

The circle has closed

A new life emerges

The cycle continues.

The Freedom of True Love (Cinquain)

 Love

true, unconditional

enlightens, enables, energizes

if we let go and allow our children to be who they are.

Free!

Pistachios

Pistachios, the nuts most evil

of all nuts on planet earth.

Our hand they make to operate

independently of our minds.

Try as you may to put them away,

your hand gets drawn to the bag.

Wait just one more nut before you quit

but your hand you just cannot stop.

That process continually copies itself

the pistachio has taken total control.

Beware the evil nut named pistachio!

(hey, watch out for those cashews, they've got that same power)

Regrets (Cinquain)

Regrets

past, present

debilitate, delay, discourage

more often than not keep you from moving on with life

fu-get-about-em

In Life There Are No Do-Overs

When you look back
and see what you've done
some things were quite tragic
and others just fun.

We remember the fun times
they make us quite glad
but the tragic times creep in
reminding us of the bad.

We wish to forget
these ugly old times,
by taking some do-overs.
Would they really be crimes?

The do-overs don't come
to us in this life.
If they did we might suffer
from extraordinary strife.

Our lives would be different
and never the same.
Other lives we would ruin
yes we'd be to blame.

Though we want to erase them
and change them to fun.
Do-overs change everything
yep, even one.

Why is Time Backwards

Time, it can be so confusing

the minutes they seem never ending

the hours seem to fly by.

The weeks, the months

we slowly work our way through

then wonder, where has the year gone.

As kids, Christmas couldn't come quick enough.

When young, our school years were forever.

Our working years, they all seemed so long.

Now in retirement everything's changed

from the past this is different,we see life in a way

that all of those years seemed like just yesterday.

Intolerance (Cinquain)

Intolerance

racial, religious

zealous, hateful, demeaning

greater damage has not been done to our world.

Forgive!

When The Rains Come

When the rains of life fall upon you.

and your world seems in total shambles.

You may not know of a cleansing to come,

as you fight to escape these brambles.

The troubles that come have no hold over you

unless you let them consume.

It is really within your own power

to deny them and stop their mushroom.

So sit back, take care, relax, chill out,

don't allow life's demons to burn.

For when these rains stop your new day begins,

and life as you knew it returns.

Rain

Rain,

cleansing the air and earth

offering new life

and refreshment to all that grows.

As the rain,

our tears refresh our spirit

through the cleansing of our soul.

Easing our pain and sorrow,

limiting its effect on us

so that it does not consume us.

Rain is a good thing,

for so much more than corn.

Fresh Air

Today I breathe a new air

it's different than before.

For some odd reason I feel light

my spirit seems to soar.

There's a promise of a new life

a hope of things much better.

Beckoning, please come along

I see you're not a setter.

A new path goes before me

it's beauty ever present.

Something deep inside has changed

a metamorphosis underwent.

Now where did this all come from

where do I express gratitude?

Well it's really rather simple'

it's the brand new attitude.

You Have a Choice

Throughout our lives,

we make many choices

whether taking the high road or low.

As the low leads to places

of great desolation

it's always the wrong road to go.

But the high road it's said

leads you in the right way

toward a life that's filled with peace and great joy.

It's a lesson neglected

that ought to be taught

to each little girl and young boy.

To act in a manner

that we know to be right

avoiding the ways which would hurt.

Once again I must say

the high road is the way

don't let yourself be dragged through the dirt.

Darkness

Where darkness dwells

mans spirit falters

he cannot smile nor laugh.

For in the dark

he cannot not see

his way has been taken from him.

The blindness swells

his way is blocked

it matters not where he is.

For with no vision

there is no path

and no place left to go.

His life's a mess

he sees no good

for the darkness hides it all.

But shed some light

and give him sight

the path will be made clear.

As now a vision

shows the way

pointing out all of life's beauty.

His spirit lifts

a smile returns

he once again can laugh.

To laugh is to live

with a joyful heart

this is the only way we should live.

The Mist

There is a mist

that does exist

within the minds of men.

And there are times

our decisions hide

as to how or what or when.

Our thoughts

often quite clouded,

confusion settled in.

A time of doubt

must be left out

don't act, find peace within.

A time of quiet

a time alone

a time to think things out.

Will often guide

and show the way

teaching you what life's about.

So if you'll pause

and search down deep

letting your mind and thoughts grow clear.

You're soon to see

the reasons that be

for that mist you've found so near.

In a Fog

Heavy fog and mist

nothing moving so quiet

train whistles afar.

Lonely though it be

I find tranquility.

Thank God for Variety

Imagine how our lives would be

quite boring, yes you're right

if we had just one recipe

eating the same thing every night.

Well all of life is like this

so thank God for different tastes

they've offered us variety

and with food it goes to our wastes.

But food or cars or clothing

and the differences that we see

make each new day enjoyable

they give us reason yet to be.

Our children all are different

no owners manuals there

each one an individual

down to their faces, size and hair.

The animals and plants

all different for a reason

have given us ability

to survive through each new season.

So when you meet a person

who is different from yourself

appreciate what you've received

a new blessing off God's shelf.

Love (Double Cinquain)

Love

unrequited, unshared

desirous, yearning, longing

leaves within a person's life an emptiness

unfilled.

Love

shared, returned

intense, enthusiastic, earnest

allows the lives of the two to become one

eternal.

The flame that true love ignites is eternal and never dies out completely.  there is always a burning ember beneath the ashes.

Laughter (Cinquain)

Laughter

exuberant, unrestrained

blessing, nourishing, lifting

giving our spirit a moment in Heaven

on Earth.

Truth (Cinquain)

Truth

ugly, beautiful

hurting, healing, helping

never needs remembering as it is what it is

eternal.

A Failed Life

He who harbors unforgiveness and hate

lets anger and bitterness reside within.

Consuming inner peace and happiness

satisfaction of life is lost to him.

Loneliness is his portion, others avoid him

never finding friendship he hardens.

He is his own undoing, none other is to blame

love and life have escaped him.

It didn't have to be this way.

Friendship (Cinquain)

Friendship

personal, ever-present

supporting, nurturing, loving

making it all worthwhile traveling the path of life

together.

Chains (Cinquain)

Chains

endless, unremitting

binding, enslaving, imprisoning

cast away and broken when you learn to love

self.

most of our chains are self imposed by our own 

insecurity of who we are and what we think of ourselves.

Charity (Cinquain)

Charity

selfless, benevolent

giving, helping, providing

having compassion for others in need

love.

Faith (Cinquain)

Faith

boundless, mystical

inspiring, everlasting, uplifting

without it there's no trust within us

believe.
