Love, Happiness, Faith - for Aspen

Faith is a miraculous thing, because it is born from a space—not between two words, but between people, good people, and something more. Some might have a greater sense of sight that penetrates darkness and clouds, yeah, that may be, but greater, still, is the girl with feebler eyes the girl who moves through silence and still keeps the faith, still listens at all hours for the word and speaks nothing but love, breathing happiness into this unsure place, into this unsure poet, giving us all some sense that beyond mountain peaks and the horizon they hold behind them in wait, there is a place where love and happiness flow like milk and honey, where we can leave faith behind.
