THE FLIP SIDE  

 

The flip side of Faith
Is not Doubt
It is not Distrust
It is not Faithlessness
The flip side of Faith
Is Certainty

The flip side of Hope
Is not Despair
It is not Apathy
It is not Hopelessness
The flip side of Hope
Is Satisfaction

The flip side of Love
Is not Hate
It is not Loathing
It is not Lovelessness
The flip side of Love
Is Singularity

When we have become
Certain, Satisfied and Singular
We have become
Faithless, Hopeless and Loveless
We have auctioned our fleeting endowment
We have alienated our precious humanity
We have abdicated our immortal soul

The wonder of being a Child of Earth
Lingers in overcoming Certainty with Faith

The anticipation of being a Child of Sky
Manifests in vanquishing Satisfaction with Hope

The gift of being a Child of God
Unfurls in conquering Singularity with Love
