Faith is a troubled word in muddy
clothes, walking with the unthinking,
the enraged, the **** tube prophets
Still: I believe a few things, like
that You exist
that You reward the seeker
that the greatest anything is love,
You always did say that:
'Love each other, love Me'
Faith reveals the invisible
hope which lifts sunken eyes to
Love
which is the only redemption
in the burning streets
of a condemned world.
Choosing a love ethic means knowing
you are connected
to every other life
and even to eternity
which Tagore describes
as the place where nothing can vanish:
no hope
no happiness
no vision of a face seen through tears
