Stealing Glory (Free verse) by Enkidu
Congregation beneath a blue moon whispers
Two hundred yards for what
For Glory
Glory is not worth the risk
The measured darkness reveals nothing and no one
So strays the guard from his post
Measured steps echoing metal soles
Carefully, the shadows await a faux pas
The shadows
Eye to eye
As the day rises, more silence is heard within the stir
Glory will fail us
No...Glory shall not let cry
The silence breaks
Crying now
The alarm wails a deep red
Glory sits beneath her opaque sky
Swept away in the arms of darkness
She cries muted tears of silence
Midday glows and Glory speaks
The darkness has lifted me
But I can see him no longer
