"My Revelation"

The beauty of realization..

On morns break, with the sun slowly rising;
I sit out on my porch and watch the beauty of the new horizon
Tears come so easily
And I let them fall
For such beauty before me, I rarely saw.

I have never noticed the way the sky, so blue;
looked as the sun slowly came forth
Or the way the heavens parted, clouds softly formed,
As they made their way to separate for the new morning dawn.

I was tired, yes, but still awake
There was so many things I still had to partake
So many things I needed to do
But I sat still and watched as the new morning came through.
 
Then a knock came
Softly, yet heard
I went to answer and here is what occurred.

Revelation came and knocked at my door this night
I answered and stepped aside for such a heavenly sight
With it, along came, reason, and no more doubt;
And happiness, passion along with no more pain
All tied together neatly in a bow;
with a string attached which was tied just so.

We sat for awhile, myself and my new friends
Talking about long ago, memories, the new trends
I asked them why they came;
yet I think I already knew.

Reason stood forth and took my hand
Then along with her came no more doubt
Then happiness and passion came about.
 
And off to the side, I saw Revelation again
Slowly it moved towards me
And together they all spread out their hands.

No more pain stood behind,
for she was there to protect
My rock when I need her
forever I suspect.
 
I felt all move within me
Their hands touching so
Each and every one of them
Bringing a lesson to bestow.
 
I felt reason come in, then next was no more doubt
Then Passion next for she was rare;
and had many things she had to share.

 

Next came happiness, then no more pain...
And all together they began my change..
My body tingled;
my heart overflowed.

What I once held dear;
was now disposed.

I saw clearly now
Things I never saw before
I looked around,
then walked to my patio door.

As I walked outside;
I saw the strangest thing
Sights I have seen before

Yet never meant a thing.

 

I saw the sunrise start to rise,

Its beauty surreal

I felt a tug at my heart

Then slowly stated to feel.

A new feeling then

Came slowly inside

I had not noticed her before

But she was standing watching to the side.

 

Her name was love

So pure and divine

And as she went inside me

I felt this feeling slowly wind.

A heart that I took for granted

Now started to feel

Sights, I never looked at

Were now different and surreal.

 

Oh such beauty laid before me

And I gasped at all the many sights

For never before had I wondered on my surroundings

Never before had I felt it was my given right.

  
And with her I would begin to learn

See the many things she had to share.
Feel what was meant for me
To cherish and lean how rare.

 

For life was a gift

Chosen for us once long ago

And tonight I was given a second chance

To look at it once more.

So standing back now, I held out my arms,
And felt these feelings come in.
Rare it was...Yet wonderful all the same
And suddenly I realized;

I was no longer afraid.

With joy in my heart, I turned to see the sun rise;
it was then I felt my tears
So this was love, I whispered so soft;
as she wiped away my fears.

I stood immobile,

My eyes taking in all

Such beauty stood before me

Such wonder and peace, I do recall.
 
A sigh broke through

It was then I understood

All along what I have been missing
Now was at my fingertips, as it always should. 

Tears I now wept

Of beauty, not pain
Of moments I shall now treasure;
for my life would never be the same.

So as I watched the sun rise;
my thoughts were on all before.
A smile broke out on my lips;
as I began to recall.

The knock on my door last night;
which I opened and let in.
Turned out to be my Revelation.

 

My now truth and new best friend...

This is rather long but well worth the read The picture you have presented with your words goes well with the picture at the top but I truly believe that your words paint a much better picture. It has been sid that a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case your words, your poem, your thoughts out shine that pretty picture you have placed before your wonderful poem.
