FOOL FOR FAITH :: 2008

"I am equally a fool for faith,
As I am a fool for love."

I accept this resolution
This unsound peace
I raise my hands
And I drop to my knees
Humbled by my arrogance
And control through procrastination
Silenced by my one sided use
Of intelligence through infatuation
I can not deny
I can not live this world with out faith
I have chills
And it is in the Artists touch I bring my face

I have taken my existence
For granted
My mental passport
Taken, stamped it
One too many trips away
From the reality and the pain
One too many bad trips
That erase the testimony of my name
There is no unease or regret
In how unclean my soul reeks
Because it is experience that shakes
And brings forward the beliefs I seek

A fool for faith
A fool for divinity
A fool for restlessness
All within me
A fool for faith
When my head is science
When my heart is poetic
When my spirit embraces silence

I can cry to heavens
As I lean out my skyscraper
I can pledge allegiance
To the murmurs of sacred papers
But in the end
I am foolish because I believe
I felt an Artist’s touch
And I had no need to see
I had been touched
And the faith rested within me
I had been humbled
And given back more than was ‘me’
