Faith -- is the Pierless Bridge by Emily Dickinson

Faith -- is the Pierless Bridge
Supporting what We see
Unto the Scene that We do not --
Too slender for the eye

It bears the Soul as bold
As it were rocked in Steel
With Arms of Steel at either side --
It joins -- behind the Veil

To what, could We presume
The Bridge would cease to be
To Our far, vacillating Feet
A first Necessity.

Where's the "like" link when you need it? Because seriously, it is very beautiful.

Beautiful and profound. I love Emily Dickinson's way of just piercing the target with simple and elegant accuracy.
