Blind Faith


           Blind Faith


        Fact or fiction
            truth or dare
        Roll the dice
             devil may care
        Fate or destiny
              want or need
        Cut so deep
              you think you'll bleed
        But no blood yet
             the heart still beats
        Suffer the pain
             pass on defeat
        Steady as she goes
             stay on course
        Don't look away
             we'll all be lost
        Always the questions
             the answers evade
        As mice and men
             the plans we lay
        Keep the faith
             stay strong and true
        What you send
             comes back to you
        Close your eyes
             what do you see
        Dreams or visions
             think carefully
        Expectations
             large or small
        Good wins out
             at the end of it all
        Don't look back
             there's nothing to see
        It is what it is
             what will be will be
        On to the future
             keep up the pace
        The heart holds the answers
             to this blind faith.

Hello Sue

I really enjoyed reading this poem so full of simple truths. Very deep. My favorite lines are: Always the questions the answers evade As mice and men the plans we lay Keep the faith stay strong and true What you send comes back to you I especially like the last line here, "What you send comes back to you." I have always found this to be true. Always, Cat

Hi Cat, I have to tell

Hi Cat, I have to tell you, from reading some of your replies to other posts, I knew that one line; "what you send comes back to you" would get your attention. I'm glad to see I was right. Glad you enjoyed the write. Seems like I could have fit a few more cliches in, eh ?? Maybe next time! As always, thanks for the read and the response. Sue

Hi there emogothgirl, I don't know how to answer that!!! A couple of drinks and a smoke, and there's no telling what might come out of my head!!!! TMI ???? Thanks so much for such a nice response.

Structure

A tight structure and has a feel of needing to read it fast and leaving you out of breath. Fav piece: "Cut so deep you think you’ll bleed But no blood yet the heart still beats" A staggering piece, can't fault it...one of your best.

Hi there Dan, I’m not

Hi there Dan, I'm not surprised you had the feeling you needed to read this quickly. It was sort of my intent as I wrote it. The lines just kept tumbling out, quicker than I could type...( no half-fast comments either !!) Leave it to you to like the 'darkest lines' the best!!! No surprise there, huh? Glad you liked it Dan. Your opinion and comments are always welcome and much appreciated. Thanks. Sue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ why look surprised, it's what cliquesters do.
