'Morning'—means 'Milking'—to the Farmer—
Dawn—to the Teneriffe—
...

Geese appear high over us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear
...

You, darkness, that I come from
I love you more than all the fires
that fence in the world,
for the fire makes a circle of light for everyone

A first Mute Coming—
In the Stranger's House—
...

Most near, most dear, most loved and most far,
Under the window where I often found her
Sitting as huge as Asia, seismic with laughter,
Gin and chicken helpless in her Irish hand,
...

Then said a teacher, 'Speak to us of Teaching.'

And he said:
...

Woman's faith, and woman's trust -
Write the characters in the dust;
Stamp them on the running stream,
Print them on the moon's pale beam,
...

The Mother's heart, the hero's will,
The softest flowers' sweetest feel;
...

There's a black hole
In my consciousness
I feel less whole
Diminishing
...

Yet at the last, ere our spearmen had found him,
Yet at the last, ere a sword-thrust could save,
Yet at the last, with his masters around him,
He spoke of the Faith as a master to slave.

Lady and Queen and Mystery manifold
And very Regent of the untroubled sky,
...

Innocent heart, what has happened to you?
Alas, what is the cure to this pain?
...

The religious man
may have a questionable retirement plan
However,
his devout faith in God
...

Flowers of love
blossom in air of faith-
Divine oxygen
...

Thou art not so black as my heart,
Nor half so brittle as her heart, thou art ;
What would'st thou say ? shall both our properties by thee
...

Most near, most dear, most loved, and most far,
Under the huge window where I often found her
Sitting as huge as Asia, seismic with laughter,
Gin and chicken helpless in her Irish hand,
...

One day there passed by a company of cats a wise dog.

And as he came near and saw that they were very intent and heeded
...

Well, World, you have kept faith with me,
Kept faith with me;
Upon the whole you have proved to be
Much as you said you were.
...

In loving thee thou know'st I am forsworn,
But thou art twice forsworn to me love swearing:
In act thy bed-vow broke and new faith torn
In vowing new hate after new love bearing.
...

Through faith, I move mountains
through faith, I rise from any fall

Through faith, I manifest miracles.
...

Christ's message distilled is we all are born sinning,
deserving of Hell (1) (but for Grace the Cross pays for) ,
your pride in 'your good acts' the proof of your fall.
The 'good' in your life is a gift that God's driven (2)

Love is the prime attribute of God
Besides truth, justice and compassion.
Faith is the human's attribute
And it does not inhere in God.

Faith.

Faith may be very pure,
Faith may be very strong,
...

Faith furnishes favours
Faith serenizes circumstances
Faith synergies societies and energises endeavours
Above all, faith sweetens circumstances and diminishes difficult distances.

Faith is ensuring
Faith is insuring
Faith is persevering
Faith is permeating
...

Faith and feelings are unrelated
Faith and feelings are enemies
Faith and feelings are adversaries
Faith and feelings are foes
