Rely ...

Proverbs 28:26 

26 The one who trusts in his own heart is a fool,
but the one who walks in wisdom will escape.

 

A word that simply builds on trust.

A thought that is proved by action.

But once when failed … a broken tusk,

that leaves your front defenseless.

 

When trust is gone … you are all alone

even with self you cannot reason.

Uncertainty mounts and gets full blown

as you grasp for straws in summer season.

 

Who will remove your scale of emotions,

that you protect with all your strength?

You build it up in fearful devotion 

to soothe your hurt up to any length.

 

Your faith in man is completely gone.

You don't care about the results it brings.

Until the days so nature prone,

that you'll forget as only life can sing.

 

The emptiness that lived inside,

will as days go by ... depart in peace

and wait for another chance in time

to visit you ... that's guaranteed.
