Deception

Dare not see the light
That leaks on shady plains
For life thirsts for compassion
Which only time obtains

Dare not hear the air
That lurks in echoing caves
For minds hunger forgiveness
Which only time re-paves

Dare not smell the scent
That flows through winding hills
For the heart seeks affection
Which only time fulfills

Think not mal-intentions
Nor actions you'll regret
For beauty isn't worth it
And life's not over yet
