request and a poem

[theprohibition.livejournal.com]

Poetry about losing faith/finding faith in God or any belief system?

and in return, a poem that I love but isn't quite relevant:
"These are easy verses" by T.H. White

These are easy verses, which anybody can write
in a minute:
So that more than two or three at a time
Leave a taste in the mouth,
But oh my God
If I could once get from my heart
What is in it
About man and madness,
Ambition and the blood of boys -

About lack of faith - not sure if this is relevant

L'Angoisse - Paul Verlaine

Nature, nothing of you moves me, neither the nourishing
fields, nor the rosy echo of Sicilian
Pastorals, nor the pomp of daybreak,
nor the doleful solemnity of sunsets.

I laugh at Art, I laugh at Man also, at the songs,
the verses, the Greek temples and the spiral towers
that cathedrals stretch into the empty heavens
and I see the good and the bad with the same eye.

I don't believe in God, I abjure and renounce
all thought, and as for that old irony,
Love, I'd like for no one to talk to me about it anymore.

Weary of living, afraid of dying, like
a lost ship, plaything of ebb and flow,
my soul sets sail for terrible shipwrecks.
