Tigression FuPoet at Large's blog: "By my words you shall know me"

Shall there be a single moment,

Throughout the course of your short life,

Where you can glimpse, however briefly,

The measure of small wondrous truths?

And, having seen such gleamings,

Could you say, with blatant disregard

For any final cosmic consequence,

That through your remaining human life

You might ignore that which should have

Changed your earthly life forever?

These questions are so simply forged

For such truths are ever present

And pervade the world around us;

…We but choose to be blind by choice.

And the answers are as simple…

And no matter how you may try…

You will not then deny the seeing

Or the knowing in your final moment

….Of accounting before that judgment seat.

I know one such truth is love; and,

You will not succeed if you try to claim

That you have never known true-love…

Intending for your part an answer

That speaks to what you have been given.

For your statement proves that you have seen it

In the form perhaps of the new-borne babe…

Or wrapped arms of lovers not far from you…

Or the beauty of some pastoral scene.

And having seen it, you then do know it...

And knowing it you then hear its call.

By such a way as this the seed is planted

And it is up to you to let it grow

Until it does what its measure calls for

That you might give and live and

Know and show true-love...

.....And ask nothing in return.
