Trust you….Do?

Trust.

The ability to believe

to understand

that the words spoken

are the ones you mean.

I do not trust.

Too many men

made promises

built sand castles

promised the world

only to stand watch

as the darkening current

swept me away.

Trust.

Given to none

for they do not care.

I desire to give to you

my trust……..

yet…..

I have no faith

I have no trust

I have stood here alone

for so very very long.

You present your hand

a gentle smile

encouraging me to cross.

Leap the brook

toes dance on rocks

you pull me into your arms.

I cradle close

hearing your heart

feeling your arms

wrapped around me….

Trust.

I have given it to you

please

do not make me undone.
