Article of Faith

Maybe faith can move mountains

But only Love can tell

where the mountain needs to go

Only Love can place

each sparrow on its twig

and every bright cascading stream

in its swift channel 

down the mountainside

Faith can grasp

the malleability

of all perception

Stand upon the precipice

of possibility

And can see that anything

can be made to happen

But only love can tap the wisdom

to determine 

what step to take

what hills to move

So let me cultivate my faith

but in the field of love.
