Faith
The highest elevation
Of internal supremacy
The fulfill one’s objectives
In internal peace

In sheer determination
Of our believes
To console our souls
Doubts

Overcoming obstacles
In the fortitude
Of a spiritual love
On the highest plain

Being shared
By consoling mankind’s
Anger
In serene contemplation

In the faith
Of all the religions
Getting along
With the common principles

For we all can contribute
To humanities cry for
Nirvana

Being judged
In the simplest of ways
With a heart
Seeking salvation

Faith
The pain of existing
In your strength
Of all your weaknesses

Thought: My faith is no more special than yours; all I can do is seek an inner peace in my own imperfections and offer you a hand shake in loving respect.

I enjoyed the entire piece, but especially liked this last stanza. Very contemplative indeed and very very well written. Thank you for sharing.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

Hey Dave--

I thought this summed it up very nicely.
This has a spiritual strenth to it, that built with every verse.

Very much enjoyed.
