Act Of Faith Poem by Lynn Anne Brown

Envisioning
Our own Reality
We make up the Rules
Then do our best to live by them
We take up the Rules
Because they work for us
They keep us safe
They help us communicate
If I can make this great thing alone
Imagine what we could make with others
Like ourselves
Who Spent so Many Years
Just learning, to read and write
This Common Tongue
I think of
as
Elven English
And I'd like my friends
I'd like my clan
I'd like my tribe
To join me in the making
Of a basic guide
To our Language
This idea arose
From More that 45 years
Of trying to workout
That thing I hold so sacred
The Place from which the Magic's Born
I thought that I could do it
And I did
And so it worked
Well sometimes
Anyway
Enough
That it Made
The Journey Worth it.
Even if I would never do
Some things again
Trust me
I've never liked
Having to walk among the wounded
Or being wounded for myself
Though I've known both
And Survived
To Talk about it.
To Write about it.
To Think about it.
To Imagine way to...

Living for me
Is an act of Faith
An agreement between
My Body, Heart and Mind
To Make the Best
Taking what each one had to offer
And responding to each ones needs
Making Peace with one another
