The Passing of You

There will come a time when you have finally faded
Your guile, your poisoned tongue will have been traded
For peace and silence desired by those you've hurt
With scripture and professed prophecy you eagerly pervert
And when that time comes, great rejoicing will ensue
For we will be, oh! - so very much over you

Some people still touch my life via my friends. So, this one has not completely faded. But it will happen - it's simply a matter of time :). Thanks for reading my poem, Catie!

Thanks, Michael. I do firmly believe in what you do in your life will ultimately come back to bite you in the backside :)
