A Test of Faith

Faith is a fine invention

When people feel small or helpless.


Some find their place

In the entropy of the universe,

the miracle of chance,

And in the random occurrences that allow us to exist,

Like a raft set into the ocean with no preordained destination.


Faith has its place, but


Those that give themselves license

To control their lives,

Confident as a captain on rough seas,

Will find peace

Among randomness.


People who give license to something greater

Find peace in crisis


Believing

It all means something.


Perhaps we can find serenity

In our similarities


Refusing to worry about where we put our

Faith.


Regardless of our beliefs and philosophies,

We all share the same goal.

I was inspired to write this piece by my grandparents and the differences in our beliefs, and while we are opposites of each other in that way, I find that it never gets in the way of our relationship.
