the opposite for faith
is not fear
it is faithlessness
and we do not have it
cast into a human shape
the form is faith
you can heave great doubt
or fear and still have faith
in fact there is a thing
called 'holy doubt'
it prods me to know
my faith
to discard superstitious
or magical thinking
to find the higher power
as i evolve
because as i revolutionize
the higher power does too
and i must keep re-
finding it
any static god
is not god
i follow what has
barely been touched
by books
i have found it
through action
it is experienced
right now absolutely
deathless
beyond suffering
joyful
and aware
