If it gets any worse, I’ll say a prayer
Who cares if I feel so down today?
My two feet tall faith will get me by
It will know all the right things to say
Being me isn’t easy
I pay some price, every now and then;
But I guess I’ll not have it any other way
Not as long,
As my two feet tall faith remembers all the right things to say
Wrongs and rights, all blurred for me
Into a thin red line of deep cynical mystery
Now I am living the dictates of my mind;
Stealing some peace, now,
Getting by sometimes just breathing, and telling me
Anyhow,
It’s just another day
Two feet tall faith please know what to say
Stop, breathe
Fight but never leave
This is your life
The only place in the world you call home;
Sometimes your way
Sometimes their way
Anyway
Everything’s ok
Just so long the two feet tall faith knows what to stay
There is grace as long as the faith will say

Sups,
wow as usual
Being you will be much easier if your faith tells you that Sometimes the other way could also be the right way......

Hullo DW
Faith would be child like if it were born out of suspension of judgment. But id it is the flowering of judgment and the death of doubt then it is a rare feat of contemplation.

Hullo Supriya
A mind strong enough to defy the world should have no need of 'self-explanation'. Actions, they say, speak louder than words, your most certainly do.
Good morning.

Faith is always about being childlike - being two-feet tall. That's the only kinda faith that can be, than can see one through.

Hi Supriya,
A traveller has to knock at many alien doors to come to his own....and one has to wander thru' all the outer worlds to reach the innermost shrine at the end...Its a painful voyage no doubt ;
hence, ' two feet tall faith ' has to be a partner in this journey of wilderness :)))
Beautiful ......Just so long the two feet tall faith knows what to say There is grace as long as the faith will stay !!!!!

Supriya,
... this is not the first time I've drunk from your brimming log - of crimson poetry ! But , I do not know why I feel strangely satiated, inspite of having encountered only thirst, and a parched earth, a brewing thought and a bleeding mind !?
However, today I felt a metamorphosis: of a return to Conviction, though uncanny. Still cynical ? Or are you making us struggle through 'objective' Faith; which it can't be, by definition.
Wrongs and rights - all blurred... for me
I'm deeply apologetic for thus turning on its head your two-foot faith, but then it would get buried, if not retrieved while still temporally feasible !(still distinct, defined by)
a deep red line of cynical (thought) - ...
(mind clinging
desperate
to crutches of the spirit... )
...love your expression, love your rebellion, nevertheless !
