belief

From a quantum perspective,

in the method of oneness,

belief, as we practice it,

is a form of taunting,

an insular sacrilegious gesture

said in the mind out loud

in formulation,

for the mind to hear,

over and over again.

It is a time capsule,

sacredly presented to oneself

when called upon to justify.

It functions

as a hidden agenda,

almost as emotional subterfuge.

Surely beliefs are fumes

of feelings formed

into speakable words.

It is a formidable stand,

somewhat like a sneeze,

against self-accusing fears

almost as the internal irritant.

But belief, for the majority of people,

is more like a series

of fire drill practices.

It is where you read from

to answer inquiring tourists’ questions

towards your personal landscape views.

It is where the verbal exits

as finishing touches.

It has a internal life

of credit card status.

It is an inward oral tradition

hand forged with

and by every new challenge.

It may seem like

the chorus hummed

to an every day living song.

Belief is a innocent lobbyist

for the prominent status

of retaining a retentive mind.

It is the accepted cure

for the common cold of “why”.

It is the verbal ovation given

to look forward to a sunny day.

Belief is icing on a cake

that is daily made from scratch.

It is a card shop

when explanation is the gift

about to be given.

It is kind of like, a new math

with polished principles

which become axioms

of a functional nature

as its means.

It is like having

an invisible house pet

living in your inner private world.

Belief is a lot like a pier in a lake

where the deck is the mind life

with weather and play

and occasional emotional splashes

while the anchor posts

are the emotional underwater life,

where the stable belief foundations

hardly ever see directly

that light of day

in much the same deck way.

Belief is a form

of hand-me-down trust.

It is an attempt

at a legible nametag

on a two-year-old conclusion,

possibly lost and

wandering through your life.

Beliefs, are in abundance.

Can’t live without them.

Can you believe that?
