Faith
My love for her transcends beyond the boundaries of a mother/daughter relationship.
She has endured such hardship, so much loss and suffering, that I couldn't believe a god would ever exist.
I've never told her it's why I'm an atheist.
But I love how she looks up and apologises for my blasphemy as if "he" could hear.
"She doesn't mean it" her voice loud and clear.
I'm mesmerised by her faith.
To still trust, and love and have belief, for me is unachievable.
Almost ridiculous and not believable, and yet I see her light shine through.
So my faith is built in her, anew.
My temple, my goddess, my angel,
My mum.

Snippet from something I am writing that isn't poetry, but the line felt too powerful to be ignored. (Edit I've added bits on)

i understand the gist and feel
.....also, it's not why i gave up on christianity either
You should still post what You have,
once finished.
Not all spills have to be poetic -- some just liken to prose (i think some of my ink here in the Deep end of the pond is more like prose than poetry)
i look forward to reading what You create if You do post it
