Believing
How good it must be
to believe in so many things
like my lady
who believes all creatures have souls
that we have past lives in far places
who believes cats’ purring can heal
While I can only watch and listen
mind always full of doubt and questions
When I was little I wondered how airplanes
didn’t fall out of the sky
now an adult I know they sometimes do
dashing to the ground hopes, dreams and beliefs
of hundreds of believers and doubters
the cold earth accepting them all
without discrimination
