Even As I am Known
The mask - heavy
Life - tawdry
A cheap, simple show
They did not know
The day - long
Life - provoking
Testing patience to its end
Oh, if one knew
Time - stangnant
Life - ominous
Looming tiresome and dull
Should they know
The mask - safe
Life - fake
This is not real
None can know
One day renewed
A stranger somehow understood
How could he know
The time now precious
One heart cleansed and true
Delivered by his knowing
The mask now old
Cast aside, discarded and abused
They'll never care
One day eclipsed
Life finished
In his gaze all will be shown
One time soon past
A shrunken, helpless waife
Knows glory, grace, eternal life
