Before We Believe

In light of mysteries and secrets

there are parts of love which grows

slowly in time and in patience

in fertile soil cultivated and nourished

awaiting time, awaiting touch..and all the

while anger and denial become tired

of the pushing away and hiding out in bushes

seeking compassion and pity.

These are the most difficult to prove,

sincerity and a will....

to climb distant dreams and seek

possibilities of hope

as it lives helpless

before we believe
