Try to

Remember this

The future

Isn’t dark

It’s very

Bright but

Since we

Live in

Darkness it

Blinds us

Upon entering

Have faith

Step forward

Cover your

Eyes and

Squint to

See the

Stepping stones

Once again

Upon speaking

To God

He reminded

Me of

Two things

One is

That true

Love is

Only true

When you

Love truly

Unencumbered and

Two that

A true

Spirit lives

Life satisfied

Are they

Not the

Same though

He asked

In life

We tend

To believe

In things

Objects people

Dogmas and

Relics things

That we

Point at

Things present

Things malleable

Yet it’s

The invisibility

Of faith

Like love

That is

Truth abundant

And personal

Faith fails

To be

Joined faith

Fails to

Be identified

Faith is

Simply quiet

And you

Most won’t

Like you

Or love

You or

Help you

Or think

You’re attractive

So stop

Living for

Them in

Some vague

Hope and

Start living

For you

And you

Will hear

A hammer

Strike an

Anvil in

Heaven heralding

Your life

To you

Are we

Simply locusts

A blight

Plaguing the

Earth or

Perhaps we’re

The pervasive

Gnawing of

Hunger deep

In the

Belly of

A child

Or perhaps

We’re a

Glacier scraping

Resources and

Retreating once

We’ve had

Our fill

Are we

Not truly

Charged with

Change as

Poets aren’t

We supposed

To incite

Riotous inflection

With words

Why then

The imagery

Of angels

When we

In fact

Live amongst

The damned
