Pleading

I have pled with you

Poured myself out to give you all

I have loved you

Why do you despise Glory?

Why do you so love your pitiful state?

Why do you want to be trapped?

Why do you long to be driven?

I forgive you, again

From the other side of silence

The place I walked once before

And serve and bless you I will

I will love you

I have sought to serve and bless you

No matter how stubborn your pride

No matter how long you refuse me

And in love I will wait for you

In love he labored

Love!

An excruciating one

Aware of his coming demise

Aware of his isolation

Aware of their fate

No one willing to stand with him

Pores oozing blood

Fists clenched

Alone

I see him now in the garden

Have left me in silence

That you, whom I considered trustworthy

I wish it were not so
