I See You

"I have dipped my pen in the sublime, it is my gift to you . . ." A Rambling Poet I see you… Scarred and renewed Passion in a picture Emotion in a painting Tears in words on paper Pain in the strums of a guitar Dreams waiting to be fulfilled Strength to overcome Tenderness beneath the ice Wanting what you never had Glimmer of hope to be healed Faith in the unseen Fear in the unknown Trust in something new Mask for others to see A smile that should never be hid Eyes that are both beautiful and sad Laughter that is music to my ears Ability to always make someone smile Go out of your way to make someone happy Humorous in your own way Intelligence that continues to impress me A love for getting lost in a book Kindness that is rare to find and so lucky to receive Open minded to life Seeking adventure at any opportunity Willingness to do anything for fun Understanding like no other Patient in all the right ways A wall of protection built by years of suffering Hope of one day not feeling anymore pain Yearning to be whole, complete Desire to feel true happiness Confident on the outside Battling with insecurities on the inside I see you… Broken Healing Beautiful A phoenix rising out of the ashes By: Shauna Riley For Constance's contest, "Writing in the Sublime"
