(From the lips of Faith herself/ with +) Thou speakest of return, beloved, As if love were coin to be re-earned. Did I not stand — when thine world burned? Did I not kneel — when thou wert crowned? Yet still thou strayed, not with feet, But with heart that feared its own beat. And now — thou askest what may return? O love... 'tis not mine alone to yearn. I gave thee my vow, whole and bright, But vows alone shall not birth light. What thou seeketh lies not in me — But in thy war for sovereignty. Return not to me — But to thyself first. Then shall I rise... If thou art truly rebirthed.
