Hi Brooke,
Another lovely poem. A nice message, too; a belief in the unseen through it's actions. Great job with this one--Ted

Excellent Poem! The poem flows and connects well. The author's words were strong, convincing and deep. The reader pondered on the theme of this poem while thinking about believing before seeing. The artwork was perfect and complimented the theme of this poem.

This is a gorgeous piece! The sentiments of a blinded man or woman being a spectator to nature's gloomy allure. Well written masterpiece of nasty looking days.lol

Beautiful poem. It reminds me of so many things, for some reason it especially reminds me of the love of a good friend. Maybe you drift apart and don't speak often, but they are always still there when it matters, just as the moon or sun is there even when you can't see their light. Thanks for sharing this.

Sometimes our vision does get clouded over or fogged up, as you suggest. Still, the moon and the sun are still there, even though they're obscured for a while. I love the reference to the sleeping fawn being warmed by hidden rays. The animals and flowers continue their busy activity. Wonderful, optimist thought that there is still hope amidst clouds of doubt. Excellent rhyme ABCB. It flows smoothly as your work always does. judi

Because the fog, like everything else, will pass. :) This is a great picture of hope in the midst of gloom - something I'm sure many of us can relate to. Nicely written, and a pleasure to read. Thanks for sharing!

This is a beautifully written poem with an important message. Even though we don't always see what is happening (or the causes behind the happenings) we can still have faith that what is important is still occurring beyond our sight. I liked every verse.... couldn't possibly pick a favorite. Simply a wonderful, thoughtful poem.

"When I can't see what still is there for dark looms all about, I think about the flow of tides and set aside my doubt." - This last stanza is especially lovely as it encapsulates everything that faith is about. This is wonderfully written and a delightful read. Nicely done and I thank you so much for sharing this with me.
