Faith: Complete trust or confidence in someone or something with certainty...

There is never any certainty in this world The only certainty you can be sure of is Your own heart Your own mind Your own soul And how you love Certainty doesn’t mean the sun will rise Or the moon will shine upon you There is no certainty that your Heart and mind are in sync All you have is your Faith And along with it goes Hope Doubt will weigh heavy on Faith When you are at your lowest Doubt takes over and Faith is lost You stop listening to Your own heart Your own soul and your own mind In your lowest you are Easily influenced by Others who care Or pretend to care Most have their own agenda But you must not judge those For even in your lowest point If your love and faith are not strong You reason you’ve done the right thing It is part of the human condition It is not your error it is your conditioning What your logical mind tells you is right Even if later truth creeps in to say you are wrong You brush it aside knowing you made the right decision Your certainty then blocks the search for meaning You are certain you have done the right thing Perhaps you have But there is that ache which never stops You say it’s healing and you will move on You are told you need to move on Many will tell you why you need to move on And you want to believe their truth But is it the truth? Is it the truth when your heart and soul ache? Yet you try to focus on other things… You walk, you read, you listen to music You search for quotes and you love your cats You walk in nature, with an umbrella… Does it end? This certainty?

The one certainty that I discovered is that of the 'human condition' even when we don't want to forget, to adjust....in time we do...the aching will continue for as long as it needs to, but given time...no matter how big is the loss....life will find its own momentum once more....then new beginnings...It is at this point that we are able to look back....and see the 'gifts' we have been given...and use them to continue happily to discover our life's true purpose...there is certainty in this....
Hugs,
Diana

the truth is flexible so we must adjust to its possible realities and its yet unknown potentials ...

Lovely poem-- there are some things I am certain of even in this life but I sense a deeper range of emotions from your words

certainty, some said it does exist. they say the certainty:uncertainty ratio is 1:10, could be more. you need to encounter 10 first.

lovely lines in your poem. hope all is well with you.

In certainty some things need time . Not that your not going forward you just need to know what to take with .....or take a deeper view. Beautiful poetry as always.

There is no certainty in life. All we need to do is to be our best, and do what we think is good for us. The rest will come into places where they should be. If not, then keep trying. All we've got is a lifeful (Guess I've just created this word) of time in our hands. We are all moving forward even though we may not know it. Everything we do has a purpose and each small success has to be rejoiced. In time you will feel better.

I don't think anything is sure or infallible or 1000 % for sure. I just go with the flow like a leaf on a stream. I will end up where I am meant to be and where life needs me.

Love ya!
