My Belief

By Nicholas Tan · February 12, 2006

Four white walls of faith
A black box
Edges of a masterpiece
Double-edged, no less
Shadow rims
Light shells
Protect me from the sun
Glorious faces, I cannot see
My house and lock
A cage
Colorless and sharp

I've nearly read every poem in this here blog and never said anything.

. . .

So ummm, nice work even if half of them go over my head.

Thanks for the compliment, genj. This poem is about how one's belief, while glorious and brilliant, can also be restrictive and give you a reason to be closed and easy to anger.

Just to let you know I read them, too. I just don't respond because there isn't much to respond to. I'm enjoying them; keep them coming!
