Faith Over Hope: A Poem

Faith and hope are not the same,

And neither was she.

After a lifetime of climbing the highest peaks and navigating the deepest valleys,

She'd never been more sure.

Faith is complete trust and confidence.

Hope is an optimistic desire.

Faith is an unwavering,

Unshakable knowing.

Hope is a nice idea.

Faith is sure it's happening.

Hope wants to believe it will work out.

She knew it was time to let go of hope and uplevel into faith.

Faith is where her power is manifested.

Faith is freedom from her suffering.

Faith is unconditionally choosing love over fear.

Faith in her body,

Mind,

And spirit.

Faith in the wisdom of her heart.

Faith in the original medicine she was born to heal with.

Faith in the stardust that lives in her soul.

Faith in her guides,

Ancestors,

And animal teachers.

Faith in the abundance that already exists now.

Her faith was brewing more potent than ever before.

Trusting that when she comes to the edge of all the light she knows,

She'll step forward into the unknown darkness.

Sure,

There'll be solid ground,

Or she'll learn how to fly.
