Sight

In the beginning

was faith

in the unseen

then

humans

in an effort to define belief

created a system of rituals, rules and religions

that left faith, love and grace

in the gutter

because people being people

felt pressed

to take the divine

and make it human

creating for themselves

practices, dogmas and works

to measure faith in themselves

and others

so their faith could be seen.

Once

seen

they lost sight

of faith

as it was in the beginning.
