Trust

trust.
hope.
faith.
doubt.
fear.
my heart beats to a human rhythm.
my breaths,
sometimes unsettled
sometimes fearful
my mind,
will often fight
all that I so long to
believe,
my will fails
and I fall back to earth
mortal,
a man.
I have no wings,
I cannot soar,
but hope still whispers
to my dulled ears
and in the middle of my night,
I can still long for the day
