Faith - An Original Poem
Updated: Dec 6, 2020
By Nayana Sen

Faith is a stranger more than a friend
It is the absolute belief in the unknown
Yet knowing that there is something there
We grasp at straws and laugh
We wonder if our choices make sense
In this vast universe
There is me
Holding onto the belief that there is also you
In another time and another place
I know we’re real
The illusion of time
The loneliness that distance creates
Time and space are immaterial
We only know that we exist
In proportion to reality
And the boundaries we stretch
Faith is such a funny word
If I could be real in your existence
Perhaps I would know I matter
In this lifetime or the next
We cannot alter our galaxies
To fit within each other’s arms quite yet
I will chase you in lifetimes
And long to say tag you’re it
Faith is a stranger more than a friend
Faith in the unknown, the unseen, the unsaid
Faith in the unshakable notion
That there is me in you
And you reside in me
