Faith and Fear: A Choice Unseen
Two shadows linger where the soul does dwell,
Each whispers truths, yet which shall we compel?
One wears the cloak of hope, a boundless sky,
The other drapes in storms, where doubts reside.
Faith stands unyielding, a flame in the dark,
A quiet whisper, a celestial spark.
It asks for trust in what we cannot prove,
Yet nudges the heart, the spirit to move.
It builds from dreams, a bridge where none appear,
Its pillars born of love, its span sincere.
Through trials vast, its song will never cease,
A steadfast current, carving paths of peace.
Fear too, a force, demands its hungry share,
A shadowed specter, breathing heavy air.
It plants its seeds in moments fraught with doubt,
And tends them well till courage is devout.
Its voice, a thunder, echoes through the night,
And tempts the heart to flee from morning's light.
It thrives on what we dread, on what we lack,
Its siren call pulls weary spirits back.
Both faith and fear demand a quiet trust
In unseen forces, in the fate of dust.
One feeds the fire that dares the stars to rise,
The other dims the glow in hopeful eyes.
The choice is ours: to cower or to climb,
To dwell in shadows or let the soul unwind.
For though unseen, the path we choose is clear,
Will it be faith that guides, or will it be fear?
