Believe in Love

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

It has been a long night

or a short night

does it really matter

after a day of hearing lies piled upon lies

after reading about a handful of rich people, plan to take health care away for poor people

to benefit rich people

after reading so many statement of fear and hate

I am angry and tired

evil keeps winning

evil keeps gloating

evil keeps manipulating, and hiding

and lying and distorting

and it seems as if there is no reason for faith

or hope

and as if love is losing

big time

what keeps me sane

is walking

in the cool of the morning

as the sun first shows above the horizon

walking through a creation that is amazingly beautiful

and complex

what keeps me sane is

watching the sun rise

and feeling its warmth

watching the clouds turn red, and orange then gold

and seeing the colors bounce of the mountains

and set the grass a fire

then faith is reborn

and hope emerges, however weakly

and I can once again

believe

in

love
