Pleading
And still you hold onto yourself
Nevertheless, I will love you
Nevertheless, I will bless you
And when you are ready
I will provide for you
Stephen Pursell, 7/02
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
I can hardly believe what I perceive
