Is it wise
lossnatureloveidentitymortality
Is it wise
To envy the certain
It is a temptation
To accept a truth
Questioning
Is fraught with danger
When it so much easier
To believe,
Proof is written
In the faces of children
An innocent need
Love and trust
Are indivisible
Which may brook
Philosophical debate
But the undecided
Never wander
Too far from a belief
In fate
However simple a twist
To the narrative
This may be
We always knew
It would come to this
The answers were written
In the leaves
On the night of a blood moon
As dying stars fell
Out of a bell sky
It was a Friday,
The thirteenth
I heard a black cat moan
At the turn
Of a death card
In the hand
Of a seventh son
When evidence
Is circumstantial
Faith is a determinant
With greater weight
Than a point of view
That much
I do suspect
Is true
