A Lie

         A lie is a dark spark that develops in your heart.

Once spoken the spark quickly becomes a fire out of control,

A raging flame fueled by your desire for the lie to become truth.

Yet a lie is a lie condemned to stay a lie once told.

Even the tears of the ones you hurt cannot extinguish its burning fury.

Once the truth is told the flames may fade, but remain ever present.

So a simple spark has destroyed the faith, of the ones burnt.

Can the embers change to ashes, can the faith be reborn?

It is likened to a great fire of a forest; the faith is but a seed.

Only truth and a constant truth will let the seed grow into a tree of faith.

And trust like a mighty oak may never grow to the magnificence of its

beginnings, once charred by the practice of deceit.
