A Parody Of Faith

Precarious her perch
Shaking unsteadily
No one to take her hand
Her beliefs a parody

Be kind, loving and caring
Trust in your beliefs
Words she tried to live by
Only led to grief

Her faith her greatest passion
Leading to her greatest fall
A victim of deceit when
She dared to believe them all

    Such truth in these words. I know I am one of many who have had faith in someone or something that has let me down and left me questioning my beliefs. Very well written.

      Thanks aluna. An all to common theme I think. Sadly we all go through it.

    Stunning Words

    Hello dear friend, I can really relate to these words my friend. Some can bring our faith to a stand still. But it will rise again. A wonderful and uplifting poem. Take care, Sandy

    Touched my nerves

    This is brimming with truth,percieved only by those who are truth seekers, Orpheus,Dante,just to name a few. Tis a perilous journey,thats even taken the lives of many. Tis a choice for many, but a chosen path for a few. Very well expressed,and constructed to say the least. Best of luck !

      Thanks my friend! We all want to belive in something but blind faith is a tragedy waiting to happen.

      Thanks! Having faith in something is good but doing it without question leaves you open for disaster.

    Very nice piece you have here, seeming to take a negative view of the situation shown through your eyes.

    "Her faith her greatest passion
    Leading to her greatest fall"

    Very nicely written.

    Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest.

      She just seems so down and forlorn. I feel a certain empathy for her, shes tried so hard and nothings worked out so she has given up. Just my take on the pic.
