Is Faith the Wave?

Comment from JeffreyVPerry
I believe that you express what faith is well and it becomes conclusive what its meaning it. But, faith also must refer to a spiritual idea even more. Without a spiritual meaning faith has little meaning and becomes irreverence. You have mentioned the heart, but I think you most also speak of the soul. Your style is very good, but it may be too clinical.

Brooke, I love the way your first two questions seem hesitant, mere suggestions put forward with no strength to them and then suddenly the third option is sprung upon the reader as the one you really believe - how did you do that?
Good luck.

Comment from kiwijenny
Is faith the breath that draws in air
before it takes its measure,
or is it when I give my heart,
the greatest of all treasure?
Faith is our greatest treasure...it is purposeful hopeful and based on love
Well done
God bless

Comment from Eric1
The perfect quatrain, a poem of faith in that the wave leaves the shore and doesn't know where it will go or how long it will survive, the faith of breathing, knowing the air is pure, I wish you good luck in the contest Brooke.

Most welcome Brooke.

Dear Brooke,
I love the metaphor of the first stanza. Comparing faith to the trust that you can safely find your way in a vast ocean is surely the best of definition.
As usual, the impeccable rhyme and metre.

Lovely artwork, looks like a fascinator that you'd wear for the races. A nice quatrain with questions about faith. I l really like the finishing lines
is it when I give my heart....
Yes, a lovely finish. Good luck in the contest Brooke.

Comment from donnadiann
Very emotional tone with lots of lines to ponder, like: or is it when I give my heart. It almost starts out like a philosophical thought, then quickly softens in tone. Lovely way to depict faith:)
