Faith​
 
Beneath many trees,
you are never there.
 
The wind passes by and wanders.
From the water, silently—a duck comes out.
The earth longs for trust… just a little trust…
So many trees are still waiting--
A lifetime, or maybe two!
No one truly enjoys
staying bound in such silence.
Beneath those trees where you are never there
I keep standing alone......
What a deep faith--
that you might still return.
