Dawn—to the Teneriffe—
...

Geese appear high over us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear
...

You, darkness, that I come from
I love you more than all the fires
that fence in the world,
for the fire makes a circle of light for everyone
...

Most near, most dear, most loved and most far,
Under the window where I often found her
Sitting as huge as Asia, seismic with laughter,
Gin and chicken helpless in her Irish hand,
...

A first Mute Coming—
In the Stranger's House—
...

Then said a teacher, 'Speak to us of Teaching.'

And he said:
...

Woman's faith, and woman's trust -
Write the characters in the dust;
Stamp them on the running stream,
Print them on the moon's pale beam,
...

There's a black hole
In my consciousness
I feel less whole
Diminishing
...

Yet at the last, ere our spearmen had found him,
Yet at the last, ere a sword-thrust could save,
Yet at the last, with his masters around him,
He spoke of the Faith as a master to slave.
...

I

Lady and Queen and Mystery manifold
And very Regent of the untroubled sky,
...

Innocent heart, what has happened to you?
Alas, what is the cure to this pain?
...

The religious man
may have a questionable retirement plan
However,
his devout faith in God
...

The Mother's heart, the hero's will,
The softest flowers' sweetest feel;
...

Flowers of love
blossom in air of faith-
Divine oxygen
...

Most near, most dear, most loved, and most far,
Under the huge window where I often found her
Sitting as huge as Asia, seismic with laughter,
Gin and chicken helpless in her Irish hand,
...

Well, World, you have kept faith with me,
Kept faith with me;
Upon the whole you have proved to be
Much as you said you were.
...

In loving thee thou know'st I am forsworn,
But thou art twice forsworn to me love swearing:
In act thy bed-vow broke and new faith torn
In vowing new hate after new love bearing.
...

One day there passed by a company of cats a wise dog.

And as he came near and saw that they were very intent and heeded
...

People call it a believe
Some call it tolerance
But faith justified a person
By faith we are sanctified
...

'Faith' is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
...

My God (oh, let me call Thee mine,
Weak, wretched sinner though I be),
My trembling soul would fain be Thine;
My feeble faith still clings to Thee.
...

For everything you are
For everything you have been
For making my life whole
For awakening life in me again
...

The sun set, but set not his hope:
Stars rose; his faith was earlier up:
Fixed on the enormous galaxy,
Deeper and older seemed his eye;
...

Seeing is believing.
Whatever was thought or said,

these persistent, inexorable deaths
...

Call him not heretic whose works attest
His faith in goodness by no creed confessed.
Whatever in love's name is truly done
To free the bound and lift the fallen one
...

You praise my strength,
my fun for the war, ...
the huge wound in
my head yet to heal....
...

There was a time when I was whole, in body, mind, heart & soul
When I was flawless without seam, a fairy tale a perfect dream
A single piece with no divide, with faith, hope & love inside
Complete, entire & intact. All I need, nothing lacked
...

My soul lives in my body's house,
And you have both the house and her—
But sometimes she is less your own
Than a wild, gay adventurer;
...

Leuconoë, don’t ask, we never know, what fate the gods grant us,
whether your fate or mine, don’t waste your time on Babylonian,
futile, calculations. How much better to suffer what happens,
whether Jupiter gives us more winters or this is the last one,
...

Fear, is life's companion.
And death's from which it springs.
So do not drink its water.
Refresh in other things.
...

I am a woman of faith
To a one true God
Depending, leaning and relying
I run to You in prayer
...

Before all the wondrous shows of the widespread space around him, what living, sentient thing loves not the all-joyous light -- with its colors, its rays and undulations, its gentle omnipresence in the form of the wakening Day? The giant-world of the unresting constellations inhales it as the innermost soul of life, and floats dancing in its blue flood -- the sparkling, ever-tranquil stone, the thoughtful, imbibing plant, and the wild, burning multiform beast inhales it -- but more than all, the lordly stranger with the sense-filled eyes, the swaying walk, and the sweetly closed, melodious lips. Like a king over earthly nature, it rouses every force to countless transformations, binds and unbinds innumerable alliances, hangs its heavenly form around every earthly substance. -- Its presence alone reveals the marvelous splendor of the kingdoms of the world.

Aside I turn to the holy, unspeakable, mysterious Night. Afar lies the world -- sunk in a deep grave -- waste and lonely is its place. In the chords of the bosom blows a deep sadness. I am ready to sink away in drops of dew, and mingle with the ashes. -- The distances of memory, the wishes of youth, the dreams of childhood, the brief joys and vain hopes of a whole long life, arise in gray garments, like an evening vapor after the sunset. In other regions the light has pitched its joyous tents. What if it should never return to its children, who wait for it with the faith of innocence?
...

Lord, how couldst thou so much appease
Thy wrath for sin, as when man's sight was dim,
And could see little, to regard his ease,
And bring by Faith all things to him?
...

WRITTEN FOR HIS MOTHER

Dame du ciel, regents terrienne,
Emperiere des infemaux palus....
...

Yet at the last, ere our spearmen had found him,
Yet at the last, ere a sword-thrust could save,
Yet at the last, with his masters around him,
He spoke of the Faith as a master to slave.
...

All roads that lead to God are good.
What matters it, your faith, or mine?
Both centre at the goal divine
Of love’s eternal Brotherhood.
...

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments
And calm all of our fears.
...

In the Book of God (Ilahi-nama) 'Attar framed his mystical teachings in various stories that a caliph tells his six sons, who are kings themselves and seek worldly pleasures and power.
The first son is captivated by a virgin princess, and his father tells him the adventures of a beautiful and virtuous woman who attracts several men but miraculously survives their abuse and then forgives them. They acknowledge that carnal desire is necessary to propagate the race but also recognize that passionate love can lead to spiritual love, which can annihilate the soul in the beloved.
Other stories indicate the importance of respecting the lives of other creatures such as ants or dogs. One only thinks oneself better than a dog because of one's dog-like nature.

Introduction: Sometimes your life sinks down a little, and when it does try and fight for Islam and have faith in Allah, ask for His divine guidance, believe and respect everyone, don't hold any grudge against someone, forgive them and surrender completely to Allah and believe in His graceful light.

From acting together,
By our differences in faith,
Color and race.

Against all forms of virus;
Making the spirit immune
To fight the lies so vicious.

And the way was laid so certainly, that, when I'd gone,
What dumb thing looked up at you? Was it something heard,

Strong Son of God, immortal Love,
Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;

MART. LIB. I. EPI. 14.

Casta suo gladium cum traderet Arria Paeto,
Quem de visceribus traxerat ipsa suis;
...

Little girl don't you cry, everything will be ok
Little girl confide in me, I'll make your fears go away

Little girl don't lose faith, one day you will be free
...

1 They bade me cast the thing away,
2 They pointed to my hands all bleeding,
3 They listened not to all my pleading;
4 The thing I meant I could not say;
...

This mark of indelible ink on my finger
Signals the vibrancy of our democracy
Heralds our faith in the country's freedom
In Republic of India and its Constitution
...

Nulla potest mulier tantum se dicere amatam
Vere, quantum a me Lesbia amata mea est;

the Sorcerer said…

"Knowledge beyond thought, "

Faith is the light of the next step
Illuminating a way ahead,
Without revealing the direction.
Faith will sustain, and comfort

It is not wisdom to be only wise,
And on the inward vision close the eyes,
But it is wisdom to believe the heart.

This pledge to give
In thought and deed
As one shall live...

shared their bad report,

In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who in despite of view is pleased to dote;

BLUE is Our Lady’s colour,
White is Our Lord’s.
To-morrow I will wear a knot
Of blue and white cords,
...

Song of the Soldiers

What of the faith and fire within us
Men who march away
...

You say, but with no touch of scorn,
Sweet-hearted, you, whose light-blue eyes
Are tender over drowning flies,
You tell me, doubt is Devil-born.
...

Yes, faith can lift a mountain from its base!
Yes, faith can turn a river off its course;
Yes, faith can win an impossible race!
Yes, faith can calm a lion as he roars!
...

We pray on the worship place
Listening to the Word, sermon and preaching
We kneel, and standing while talking to your Highest Being
Bowing down, planking or sitting meditating to Supreme Consciousness
...

~ When Love Dies


Love died and yet
...

Only my heart knows
The trauma of
A ruptured faith

Friendship
By Alf Hutchison

To whom do you turn when sad and forlorn?
...

Wait until God is finished
Faith is not just a side-dish
And there's no clear finish line
To let you know you've arrived.

Neither blasphemy, nor faith, nor conviction, nor
doubt remained.

For we will just be
Transported to the realm
Of the Unknown

But thou art twice forsworn, to me love swearing,
In act thy bed-vow broke and new faith torn,
In vowing new hate after new love bearing.

Trust your instincts
Learn to hang on to faith
At that point

Will you find that which you seek
Within the ruins of fire grown weak?
Ashes blown from hearth to heart
Choke life's breath, deaden its art.

When Faith and Love which parted from thee never,
Had ripen'd thy just soul to dwell with God,
...

Broken Wings,
Cage dreams.
Broken glasses,
Rage dreams.

Death and immediate glory.

2 Cor. 5:1,5-8.
...

My God! O let me call Thee mine!
Weak wretched sinner though I be,
My trembling soul would fain be Thine,
My feeble faith still clings to Thee,

There a sky deep and dark

And eternity it reaches into my thoughts

Unconditional love for God,
Unique faith in humanity,
Untiring struggle for freedom,
Ultimate sacrifice for the country!

In a holy land, with a strange feeling
A strange and calm feeling that comes from the heart of people
People who live pure, people who are valuable and kind
People who are great and faithful, men and women with beautiful minds

Blow the sail, boatman, in this unruly wind. Removing the sweat
Of forehead, grip the oar in the blister-stricken hand.
With successive strokes of faith, go forward cutting the angry waves
And keep muttering the name of the kinsman of your existence.
...

Lo, I have loved thee long, long have I yearned and entreated!
Tell me how I may win thee, tell me how I must woo.
Shall I creep to thy white feet, in guise of a humble lover ?
Shall I croon in mild petition, murmuring vows anew ?

And the doggy
Warm welcomes you at your feet
Compelling you to pick it up

Capable of incapacitating even the most hardened of individuals
In the absence of faith, hope, Love and sometimes courage

the birthday of your son.
You worry so much about him. Here he lies,
he earns little, his marriage was unwise,

Someone once said, 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions.'
But it is much more than that, one can go so far as to mention,
That many on that road think they have with God, good relations.'
Have you ever read God's Word and learned of His expectations?
...

Now, then, if holiness thou wouldst obtain,
And wouldst a tender Christian man remain,

Keep faith in action, let that righteousness

And thou with careful brow sitting alone
Received hast this message from thy glass,

To Him we pray to merit us the better fate
But if a strong, healthy person such so lazy
Relies only from somebody to feed him if hungry

Mirror the state of my heart
All the hurts and torment sheds
As the hour of mending comes

And their atoms' configuration?
Who hath designed every molecule
And shapes their chemical formation?

The loss of an Estate—

An angel’s fight against the devil’s work
When and how, where to whom
No one knows behind the blinking doom

When Faith and Love, which parted from thee never,
Had ripened thy just soul to dwell with God,
Meekly thou didst resign this earthly load
Of death, called life, which us from life doth sever.
