Trust

I found the tree of trust!
I have been seeking it Recently
Ever since it took a morning Walk
Without me.

I found it glowing
Within

Hallelujah!
Life is so uncomfortable
In its absence.

And dawning
(Not for the first time
but such glimpses of understanding
do take off)
The exhilarating sensation
That trust is not in someone
Or even something
But a totally independent phenomenon
Fluid
Unshakable
Even by the most magnificent of tempests.

Its presence
So apparent
In my absence.

-Amido

  1. A beautiful expression of your glimpse of truth! Somewhere in this game of hide and seek between our own absence and presence, we stumble upon a glimpse of ‘Trust’, if we are fortunate.
    I have chased it often and never found it when looking for it…but sometimes, unexpectedly, it shows up! Then it slips again…so the game continues. Perhaps someday the trust is strong enough and does not allow our ‘return’…as you have stated beautifully, in our absence IT is present!
