TRUST – A #FWF Journey

Trust me was all that was said

I promise you joy

I promise you peace

I promise you hope

I promise you abundance

I promise you mercy

I promise you love

The words ring hollow in the cold night air

A thousand twinkling stars snicker at the fate

For to trust is the ultimate sacrifice

Of all the dreams,of what was

Of what could and might have been

Left with the reality of what is now

Living inside the memories

Safety is only false comfort

Remembrance of what was turns

Balanced on thoughts of yesterday

For within each moment is a choice

To fade out and fade away

Or to hold your heart open

And trust again
