Faith’s Return, a poem
by Felicity Hope
I hear the sound of thunder
but I do not see the rain.
I call out and listen,
but only my own voice returns.
I could cry a tear,
I could stop the world from turning,
I could stand and shout.
Yet, none of this to any avail.
I can only sit and think
of dreams undreamt
of stories untold,
of faith unanswered.
Then I hear it,
a small voice,
it whispers some message I cannot hear,
but from all this I think of you.
I think of magic trees,
and places farther off
than distance can ever cover.
I think of things I cannot see,
except perhaps through your eyes,
maybe I can catch a glimmer.
Something beautiful,
it must be.
So I want to see you,
but to no avail.
So I set and hope and wait
and see if faith returns.
In Faith, a poem
by Emma Blue
Faith holds me to a circuit
and keeps me hope full;
but you are still one step ahead of me
a carrot of my own design
a promise that eludes me.
Someday
perhaps by just by mistake
the universe will stumble
and at that moment
I will finally catch you
and then your love
will spill out, shared
over the entirety of all creation
with radiance enough
to give birth
to something not yet seen;
the universe born yet again
but this time renewed
in faith.
The Tenets of our Faith, a poem
by Marya Ophir
You sprinkle me with extreme views;
I call it a want of information;
What I need to know is your true character;
I’ll assure you it’s not in any religious text.
You grope laboriously but never reach me,
Always distant, never there —
You’re quite correct in saying
God gave me a soul
and I must find it.
You see, you exist for death,
But I exist for life.
We will enjoy our relative rewards entirely
and as differently as
the tenets of our faith.
