Faith
I have kept your words as you have asked: sacred
close to my soul; with faith...hallowed…sacred

I believed!

In this foundation; constructed of solid rock
We had plans of building mansions with grand halls

And I believed!

Our castle would be magnificent
The admiration of many, for years to come

I believed!

in this trust and promise.
I held strong through spring’s active bloom.
We planted gardens and put forth roots.

I believed!

our gardens would produce glorious fruit.
For such a bountiful harvest I believed.

I believed!

in the trust of our promises
yes those vain illusions of sand castles
and gardens of plastic flowers
There were no roots; a simple harvest of wax fruit.
Upon the table of hollow dreams where I sit as oceans of waves cascade and melt this mansions walls and grand hallowed halls I so carelessly formed on figments in my imagination.

I believed
in a promise of your subtle deceit.
