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.

— Emily Dickinson

  3. This is such a great shot and beautiful poem… Interestingly enough it has a very similar structure if we compare it to another poem by Dickinson called `hope is the thing with feathers´. Sending love and best wishes for your week ahead, dear Maverick. Aquileana 🌟
