at the time of our initial interface
all my hope had dissapated
a journeywoman, nomadic and fierce
desperate to love unconditionally, as Ruth

from beneath the winds of the desert sands
you
appeared and proclaimed that FAITH
would be our sole life line

you'd toiled and traveled through many terrains
tasted life's forbidden pleasures
studied the ways and means of elevation

descending from beneath the stars and the moons
with an anticipation
that touted FAITH would see us through
and in this moment

FAITH is all that we have

and in this moment

FAITH is multiplied and concieved

and in this moment

FAITH sustained will carry us beyond these desert(ed) seas

to Redemption
