Keeping Faith

Where do I keep faith?

 

In the void between what

I'd like to say and what I cannot?

 

Or inside the crater of this wound?

 

Hide it inside a song? Enclose it in a wrinkle

or a shrug? 

 

Behind these heavy eyelids? Or within the heavier

breath? In some dilapidated chamber

of the once imposing heart? Or inside hands joined

in prayer?

 

How do I keep a faith

that knows only how to betray me?

 

I divorce my faith...

    Profound! This is a unique idea, where do we keep faith? Perhaps faith keeps us?
    I like your thought processes here; you're obviously a deep thinker.

    Thanks for entering

    Peace Georgia

    Oh wow, deep, somewhat philisophical, religious-- gosh so many things kind of poem. lol.

    I thought this was a bit simple for you, with the line breaking and stuff--you know-- but for what this is, I like it. Even your simpler ones are great.

    Lots of emotion in this one too, nice work. Best of luck in the contest that you entered.
