Delores Wiltse
faith comes from a deep source
arising from our inner resource
seeing through spiritual eyes
seeing through the ego with no disguise

faith is seeing our brothers as one
beyond the web of guilt and deception
seeing through to the heart and soul
is really the only worthy goal

faith is uniting
not dividing
faith is divinity within everyone
the wholeness, the joy and the inner freedom

I'm not a wishful thinker,
but with the cold reality,
faith seems to be the only warmth in life..
Then again I'd rather be cold than lie to myself.

Faith
like a mustard seed
but
its
sprouting
Beyond every struggle, every battle, every strife.
There is hope for a better tomorrow, a lesson, a new door.

We must forge ahead if we are to survive.
Let us journey onwards, and see what the future has in store.
We create our own future - what will yours be?

My angel without wings
One winged angel
You fly to me through the stormy
skies and blackened nights
I hear your voice, your soft whisper
Nearby
Except...It's the voice that's already in my head.
An extended metaphor to describe my best friend - an amazing person.

Cry
Cry, cry as much as you want,
don’t stop till your eyelashes
are dry and until the mascara
isn’t on your face.
Cry till your cardy is soaked
up – wring it out – cry some
more.
Cry till your nose ceases to run
and you’re all blown out.
Cry till your eyes are dry
and your tear ducts are
no longer functioning.
Cry till you can’t cry no more...
and then...
Vow that you will never cry for the same reason ever again...

Sometimes I don't agree with the last line...
This poem was inspired by Jasmina Siderovski --> this is her poem:

It’s good to cry, cry as much as you like,
Cry it out and cry some more until
there are tears no more.
When you are done laugh a little
And find some hope to remember
the goodness in your life. The hope
that God understands and appreciates
the most.
Then it is only then you will find the
Strength to carry you through a river of
tears.

"You jump, I jump
Remember"

Clinging on for dear life
Too scared to look up
Or look down
I concentrate on your terrified eyes the tears streaming down your face
"Look at me"
"Trust me"
"Give me your hand"
"I'll never let you go"
Whispering soothing words and giving you the hope to leap
"I can't do it, I can't jump"
"Yes you can - you trust me, don't you?"
"Yes"
I grip your hand tight
You scream
And scream
And scream
We're flying now
"I've got you"
"Sshh..it's ok - it's over, we did it"
I cup your face and gaze with pride in my eyes
"You did it"

"You jump, I jump
Remember"*

This is the Leap of Faith.

Written after the 'leap of faith' experience I had at Kingswood in Doncaster with my closest friend. <3
