The Glimpse

Introductions are too timely I haven't time for quaint talk Just be who you are I will watch your walk Did you see her She's been in, back to her old ways Your gift of mercy Did nothing for how the system preys It's just the way he is His mouth is loose and tough Don't be lookin' for kindness From one who believes he is more than enough Searching for outcomes Have left me bankrupt in reason But for me to withhold good from another Is a blatant disregard, and treason .....against LOVE Hmmm, well that's interesting I just saw something, a glimpse Hard, cold relating isn't welcome Under the canopy of LOVE's tent That's it....that's all they know Pow! Strike! Bang! AND STOP BEING YOU No wonder their words are venom And their actions are old, recognizable patterns, in shades of black and blue How can I be soft When the frostbite has taken away feeling And armed soldiers stand guard Around the last hope of life revealing LOVE's true nature Ahhh....yes, patience is the key to the Kingdom ...............and so, I wait....... ..........................for another glimpse.
