In Faith Alone

In faith alone

This trust I place

All in the unseen aura

That fills the empty void

Within my weary soul

 

In faith alone

My hands are searching

Holding forth wrinkled palms

Allowing the cool rain

To dribble over them

 

In faith alone

Confidence is found

An answer to all once sought

The strongest tower of love

Shielding this tender heart

 

In fath alone

Above all unseen

The strongest ties are found

Across eternity

For the most powerful of all

 

In faith alone

 

Without sight, I see

Without sound, I hear

Without touch, I feel

Without proof, I believe

 

You can't see sadness, can you?

But you can see a tear

And you know sorrow

Is that hard, cold handcuff

That binds you through and through

 

You can't see happiness, can you?

But you can see a smile

A bright beacon of hope

Illuminating the darkest of tunnels

That stretches from cheek to cheek

 

You can't see love, can you?

But you can see two hands entwined

As a couple saunters through the street

With heads bent close sharing whispers

That tells of all things dear

 

In faith alone

This trust I place

For I know it's real

Just as I know Sadness, Happiness, and Love

Are all real

It's just a feeling like any other

This trust I place

In faith alone

Ooh!!! Once again, well written. I just love how you seem to unknowingly take the thoughts out of my head and place them into words. =)
