The First Glimpse by Wolfgang Glinka


It was a sad thing and a good thing.

A sigh of relief.

A bereavement.

A long awaited smile.



It was a deep, cold disappointment.

A surge of hope.

A tear.

A look to the future.



It was sharp pain turned ache.

A spirit released.

A descending gloom

A new chance.



It was a challenge - both brutal and bold.

A fading away.

A twist in the gut.

A drop in temperature.



It was the first glimpse.

It was plain to see.

The end of the heartache

The death of a love.



Wolfgang Glinka.
