| There once was a man.... Who cast a longer shadow.... Because he stood... Taller than the rest. A man whose voice.. Caused others to still.. So as not to miss.... One word of his wisdom.. A man whose eyes.. Could capture a woman... With nothing more... Than a glance.. A man whose gaze... Could hold her spellbound... As he reached in.... And touched her soul. A man whose strength.. Inspired other men's respect... And loyalty... Without compromise. A man whose vision... Showed others.. The light... Through the darkness... Now, in his place stands a man.... Who is no taller than the rest... The shadow he casts... Is hardly noticeable.... The voice is full of bluster... Met with polite smiles... As he tells the same story.. for the thousandth time.. The eyes of the man.. Follow every pretty form... Driven to distraction.... By every twitch and wiggle.. Enamored by the beauty... His gaze is captured... By the sweet smile.. that masks the empty soul... He no longer sees.... Beyond the immediate gratification.. Of the selfish desires... That enslave him... He dwells in the darkness... Because he lacks the strength... To face his own weakness... In the light.... He stares into the mirror... And wonders ... Whatever became... Of the man he once was. Is that man still there? Are his truths still the same? Or has his vision been blurred... By compromise? |
