Is Consistency A Divine Attribute? Poem by Long Tooth

Is it just ‘faith' or proven ‘fact' tomorrows' suns will rise?
Were rainbows there before the flood, ‘Old Testament' more lies
Or metaphors for ‘Truth' that stands? The ancients understood,
They trusted this consistency; trees form the heart of ‘Wood! '

Are groups of trees that stand alone a proof no wood exists?
Do fits of rage, do lightning bolts, does pain mean death is real?
Is Love a prison, Death escape, who tells you what to feel?
Is God our future, more a curve, man's name for what persists?

Is any Truth eternal friend? A universe blinks out,
A tree that topples no one hears: is silence more devout
Than sound? Pay logic's dues! All answers lie in faith to me!
Pain aids our growth towards God; Is Life the child of Ecstasy?
