The War of Perception

Time fades through the heart of the storm 
Durations of silence conflicts with violence 
Who are we to predict the contradiction?
One may speak, the other perceives, but who truly believes?

Faith begins with blind intentions 
Failure stands tall seeking intervention 
A kind word makes a difference 

Dreading the day through a selfish conscience 
Hope is perspective absorbed by imperfections 
How long can this be without validation?

So well said! How often is what we intend miscommunicated or interpreted incorrectly? I love how you came at this idea. Xo
