With all the offerings of easy trust
we may accept some
that are not trustworthy,
just for the ease of letting go
of something that seems so hard

There is always a deeper trust
we can sink our roots towards —
it will offer strength
rather than ease,
and though the ease may seem
so tantalizing,
the strength, most certainly,
will satisfy us more.
