Blind Faith

Faith wont be blind, it merely sees that which is not true, and moves you toward the greater truth
guarding you when your gone
Its not giving something to believe in because thats not the truth

The wind blows you west
The push as real as the summer meadows kiss
It will carry your feet forward when your heart loses the tight binds and doubt creeps in
a snake at your ankles biting and turning your thoughts to winter
I cannot make it
i cannot walk anymore because I convinced myself..that
I cannot make it

Drinking from the proffered cup
The preferred cup
full of vile dissapointments and one truth among many..

hot Desire in the deepness of your nite,when utterly alone in your head you see with your heart..aching and linging..like the touch and breath and voice of some lost lover

I...could have made it.
Follly it is now!
it is too late..forsaken the moment of truth
Forsaken the moment for delusion

I could have gone..........on

Did you lose Faith?
or did you doubt..your faith, that eternal resolve
Maxim
Did the distances stretching out before you..daunt you
Did you find repulsion,revulsion at the thought of going on..at the expense of your inner voice..hand at it,neck bent back and breathless

I..cant go on....

Or..did you choose to go into that darkness with bulwark and redoubt around your Faith

Knowing that choking on the bitter bile of denial that ..that.......that cancer grows and eats away all desire

Did you not choose
The weight of a thousand years of light
Of a soul unburdened
In flight
Did you find that what you seek is seeking you...
Pilgrim, walker,watcher of the inner things
What have you done when faced with moments of doubt..out there

If only for reasons did you grab that bitter cup and drink fully
Tears..hot and full of the screams if yourself..denied

Or did you drink it for what was...to become what will be?
Did you in blind faith..walk into that darkness willingly knowing that redemption awaits when you find your feet on the Camino anew

Did you simply know you would return?
