Faith

meditate

There's a Christian in me
------waiting to be forgiven

There's Jewish in me
-----holding on to hope

There's a Muslim in me
-----trying to find peace

There's a Buddhist in me
-----meditating----existing

There's a Hindu in me
-----waiting to be liberated

There's an Atheist in me
-----trying to find the truth.

I can climb the Himalayas of my mind
go on a pilgrimage to the depth of my heart---
extinguish the flames of hate that burn.

I can survive on a single match of hope
find change within myself
to help without thinking------
when thoughts enter my mind
-------selfishness spark.

I have faith in me
I have fight in me
-----I can move forward.

faith is the last thing we hold on too yet its what makes everything possible

Stunningly grasping work. The mind here is stretching out and coming together. I've been doing a lot of yoga and meditating this past week so it seems this poem just found me. :) I absolutely love this poem! Great Work!
