Is What?

Sometimes full,
Sometimes less;
faint; faint
glimmer;
false; things
desired, things
feared; dashed,
fierce, fading;
springs eternal;
paired with dream;
shared; sustaining,
enduring, realized;
enemy of despair.

In the vernacular:
A diamond;
a ship;
a cape of good.

A child with no family;
a man with no job; a
woman, waiting for a
child to be born.

A quality.
A characteristic.
An action.
A countenance.
An affirmation.
An offering.
A gift.
A song. A belief.
A heart full of.

A brook.
A stream.
A waterfall.
A river.
A cascade.
A torrent.
An ocean.

A confidence.
A refuge.
A resting place.
An expectation.
A waiting.
A trust.
A leaning on.
Faith.

The One.
