Topic: FAITH (strong, confident belief in God) (02/26/15)
Faith to many is an idle dream It hides itself to the norm unseen.
Faith is an imperishable seed Before sprouting - cannot do its deed.
Faith is a priceless gift - as been told It may never be bartered, bought or sold.

Faith is much maligned In our short sighted time
It will never succumb to that serpent's slime.

Is it not faith in an icon's attributes?
Which unsettles the dust? That the Devil distributes?
If faith may move mountains into the sea How is it in Jesus - we cannot
see?

If faith resembles a mustard seed That towers to a taller tree - enhanced. Why is it that earth's fleeting chance
Shrinking smaller and smaller?

Trust not man's remedy to save our earth It duly implies the need of a Divine rebirth.
As in the fog of unbelief - self applauds Truly a fool in his heart says there is no God.

If Jesus pronounced "it is finished" in His Supreme sacrifice
Why does the world prevail in discord war and strife?

If Jesus taught, "I Am The Way, The Truth And The Life."
Why do so many die in denial - aside the knife?
Oh lost ones - restore your need!

If to be construed , indeed – under the ‘Son.’

It is true, we are all "in need" and He is the one that can supply. So often, we don't recognize either, and go on in the state of bewilderment because of the circumstances going on around us. All unnecessary. Your thoughts give the reader much to think about. Thank you!

This is quite lovely. It flows nicely and is a beautiful message. I know punctuation can be a stylistic choice in poetry, but the lines missing periods or with a capital letter distracted me slightly. You may want to consider traditional punctuation to make it easier for the reader to u destiny. That could just be me though. I'll admit poetry isn't my strongest genre. I do think you nailed the topic. You left me with a warm feeling at the end too. Nice job.
