To Doubt You
To doubt You
is to doubt
the blue of the sky
the softness of a
rose-petal
the innocence of a
new-born babe
To deny You
is to deny the light
of a billion suns
The dual reality of an
electron’s path
The spurt of pain-induced
growth
To love You
is to love with the ease of
Snowflakes melting in the
sun
Flowers baring their heart
to bees
Fall leaves floating
to the earth
