Sara Stowell - The Celestial Enigma

Is a belief an apparition, does it have a form?
Is it like the resplendent sun, or is it the ravaging storm?
Is it the ultimate master, the only one of its kind?
Is it just a mirage, an illusion of our mind?

The questions are a conundrum, but the answers are clear.
There exists a transcendence, to which we are dear.
It is the incentive, the stimulus of sagacity.
It casts our kismet, leading the way with vivacity.

Some find it in idols; others in the invigorating air.
Some find its divine presence, in people for whom they care.
It doesn’t emanate from any temple, nor a sacred book.
The real belief is within you, and that's exactly where you should look.

During a catastrophe, a savior for we do grope.
If faith resides in our hearts, we descry a glimmer of hope.
Faith is the instrument bringing vitality into even a stone.
With faith in your heart, you can never be alone.

Faith, hope and love are the routes to felicity.
But love is the boon, granting complete equanimity.
Love is the potion, which thirsty hearts ask for more.
A belief without doubt is love, the answer you are seeking for.
