I really enjoyed this poem, Sometimes our faith does have to be put into
question, how firm is your faith? Do you have to see it in order to believe
it

faith- the propelar

Faith is bringing to existence a thought, an idea, a vision, an
immagination, an inspiration, and an invention which you know not how and
where to start to it's manifestation through obedience to the voice that
supplies it. The evidence is only on the voice you hear from your spirit or
inner mind.

it takes faith to overcome

when two hearts unites and reason as one; mountains of life becomes a
playground.

I think that Dickinson is trying to tell us that faith is fine when
everything seems to be all right. This might be the reason why she
emphasizes the word "see"; she was probably trying to say that people tend
to have more faith when things are happening as expected. She emphasizes
the word "microscope" (the microscope might represent science) to explain
why science helps people to better deal with emergencies than faith.

"Faith" is a fine invention- But faith is meant for when we cant see, when
we cant see we need faith in the unseen so to aspire to continue-

"Faith" is a fine invention- There is little real faith, so necessity is
the mother of invention,
like other man made inventions are good in an emergency- But,
We need to see it to believe it! --

It seems as thought this is a statement of the spiritual condition of
modern society.
