Beautiful

What I once thought was beautiful, Handsome like the movie star, handsome Like the caress of the moon against the Starry sapphire night, blazing with a glittery Genius reflecting details like eyelashes Wistful and whimsical, falling soft on the naked Cheek - the fresh skin of someone who Doesn’t know the meaning of doubt, the clouds That hang out with the moon and vibrate In echoes, moving through the silence Like a feel good moment when her memory Erases all the colors of silence, the loneliness Aching inside the heart who never smiles With twinkling eyes or promising kindness – Only glares at the reminders of the sunshine What I thought was beautiful, that beauty Became dark, like the dishonesty that roars Through the memory, cruel as misery and just As close to doubt as the soul can expect To ever compare the attractive that reveals Lost charms that never share the wonder, the joy The incomparable hope built by a familiar Truth, struggling to come alive in the heart, In the life who finds out sooner than they should Have that this beautiful isn’t superficial, clouded By words or syllables, but composed on the miracles Rich and sincere, secreted within the spirit Who listens to the light, reflecting all the magic Love so worthy that only God could stir this feeling To life – erasing all the black with pure, untainted Breathes of faith, belief in the Creator of beauty, The Maker of inspiration, the splendor of an Author – Who gave thoughts their hope, minds their insight Feelings their desire and the wisdoms their experience This is the Writer of each one of our stories, The Designer of each life – each heart, each purpose The Artist who captures the music, the person… The revelation, the imagination, the experience The creation – His gift to every soul who knows He is the One who gave beauty its veracity, its sincerity Beautiful isn’t something that you see with the eyes Beautiful is something that erases darkness with light Beautiful is something that mends the broken heart Beautiful is something that only real love can bring out Beautiful is something that frees the soul to shout … Beautiful is all about… Love without conditions – love that is His nature, Love that is the foundation For a life that truly is magnificent - so beautiful that There is no way to describe its splendor – This is the beautiful that shimmers through the memory!
