Trust

Proverbs 28:26 

26 The one who trusts in his own heart is a fool,
but the one who walks in wisdom will escape.

 

Rely.

 

A word that simply builds on trust.

A thought that is proved by action.

But once when failed a broken tusk

that leaves your front defense-less.

 

When trust is gone you are all alone.

Even with self you cannot reason.

Uncertainty mounts when it is full blown.

You grasp for straws in summer season.

 

Who will remove the scale of emotions?

That you protect with all your strength.

You built it up … in fearful devotion         

to soothe your hurt up to any length.

 

Your faith in man is completely gone.

You don't care about the results it brings.

Until the days … so nature prone,

that you'll forget ... as life will sing.

 

The emptiness ... that lived inside

will as days go by ... depart in peace.

To wait for another change ... in time

to visit you ... that's guaranteed.
