faith as
the love that moves the sun and other stars
that turns the heavens and keeps the universe in holy alignment
that structures everything,
I had a ring that I bought because it was the only size that fit
and as the galaxies spin, so do we, high upon our golden throne
seated together and watching the world revolve
you took my ring and I told you to keep it
because the love that moves the sun and other stars
came through you, and I found God through
your existence and our experiences
for I serve because of you and I therefore unite my soul
with the heavens, because of you
no one has ever changed me so much
and therefore I give my life either to you or the idea of you
it makes no difference; you wear my ring
and I have taken my cause and my love to be my bride
we are as pagan gods, separated and viewing the world
with an aloof, unaffected air, casting joy and peace as though it were rain
throughout anything and everything we must breathe
for we are together and we grow the forests of the earth
in our tears, we are what they write about and what I write about,
a nobility of purpose beyond what the common man understands,
and yet- while together we are like pagan gods,
with you I am the most human I have ever been,
and the most alive I have ever felt.
