Trident

I believe with all my heart that she contains the strength
With which to slay the daemons of her insecurity,
I believe that though at times we may be lost without a faith
That we may keep our pace throughout endurance
And that we may each shine with our own radiance divine.
I understand not the way she turns from the offering of my hands,
I promise no sanctuary yet promise no harm,
I promise a calm soul within which she may stir her emotions,
As Poseidon’s Trident stirs the oceans.
