Faith

by Clark Johnson

is demonstrated
when a good friend
you trust
tells you something
you don’t believe

who then do you trust?
your friend?
your own belief?

where is your faith placed
when the belief you stepped out in faith for
(one way or another)
is demonstrated to
be false

what do these say
about who is
or is not
trustworthy

and
how does faith proceed
when proof
for or against
never comes?
