FAITH TAKES YOU TO MANY STRANGE PLACES



You asked me how I came to be here:
Well, my friend, Faith in something or one
Takes you to many strange places.

TRAVELLING



There are places to travel to
And other places to travel from;
Understand what must be left behind
Before you can find the One.

HOW TO CAPTURE BEAUTY



‘How can I capture beauty?’
you ask me.

‘Be an open-hearted hunter’
I say

‘Who upon snaring a bird
throws it back to the sky.’

‘But why?’

‘For beauty holds dear only
to a master who can share.’

ITS OTHER NAME


Faith is an instrument,

Sharp as a warrior’s sword
Shiny as a clean-cut diamond
Reflective as a repolished mirror.

Above all, it is yours,
Yet you must learn
How to work it

For it can be as dangerous
As all the above.

Its other name is Love.

THE REASONS WHY YOU CAME HERE


Spending so long planning
where you’re standing,

you forget the reasons why it
is you came here;

worse still, infection of the dreaded
earth-sickness

turns your thoughts to all the things
you cannot leave behind:

it’s the money, it’s the show, it’s all
the things you’ve collected

from the corners of your little world
and you can’t let them go.

Yet what is it that you came for?

That something special

you always had to believe in, that
reason it is you came here…

could you really be so ill you’ve forgotten
the touch of love?
