The Concision

~for L3igh~

 

the briefness of brevity,

the quality of giving

and indeed, it is a-quality,

a luxury item so affordable,

yet, so totally, rarely purchased,

 

When

giving up the

requisite,

only the lonely, but

always the critical,

relevant or necessary

exquisite

in a few words

 

Let us practice:

 

I love you,

 

but only the very

first time, in a memory

bronzed and burnished,

putting to shame the way

too short modesty of

forever…

 

uttering a precious

precision of a soulful

 

thank you

 

to a passing

stranger, who runs

into your home afire,

saving all of your

family's lives

 

could go on, and on,

But that would not be,

A Concision,

instead,

a concession, to the

 

very few times in a day,

in the world's entirety,

when those are the words,

are only the only,

a sufficient holy,

a devout summary

spectacular,

akin, but only a

just, derivative of,

a sincerely uttered:

 

Thank You God^

upon re-awakening

^

words I uttered upon

hearing a voice in my

head, saying it's good

enough, just send it,

with apologies to my favorite atheist
