On a Promise

On a Promise

 

in the sky

it seems

other than in eternity

on a promise

for all

a lie

to attain heaven

but

one grabs on

to its tail

in absolute despair

crawl to reach

I know it

I know it

believing is a test

endure is ever

forbearance on a promise

of challenge

because there is the long dark

for all a lie

in the sky

I am rationalising

Job was

on a promise
