Faith

All the details
Dissolve, leaving behind
A slow sway of emotion,
A residue of reality
That keeps a secret
I dare not know.
This is a stillness
I cannot yet trust,
A solace I cannot yet name--
For what will remain,
After the Fall
Of morning?
Ah, this deciding moonlight
Is neither friend nor foe,
Just a waking embrace
Or a whispered goodbye,
An eclipsing rhythm
Of chaos inside, inspired
By a grey-green dream--
The touch of a heart
That demands to be seen.
And so all the details dissolve,
The haunting eyes, the subtle grace,
But in a moment's repose, I study
Your face--and I find a passion for faith,
A hope I have strength for,
A song to cherish the space.
