-A Poem for You

Beauty cannot 

Be described with words,

It's like a pearl kept

Within an oyster 

That has its own shape; own size; 

Own twinkle on its translucent surface.

Beauty is a wave,

Cascading and rolling over each other,

Gripping and dragging shells

As it resides back into the sea.

Each and every star upon the waters- that twinkle-

Are meek accessories

That only guide the eye 

To an allocated area;

yet the true grace, the grace 

That can outshine a million more 

Pearls; emeralds; gold;

Is what is hidden beneath.

Where each insecurity 

Is a perfect flaw:

Diamond amongst silver;

Truth amongst lies;

Quaint, white shells amongst charcoal pebbles;

Flowers amongst sprouting weeds.

Each - 

Is a beautiful danger -

Stationary on a porcelain surface,

Gleaming in joyful sadness.

Grace can outshine the Sound of Silence,

That twists and turns, tormenting troubled souls

Which became lost.

Yet the beams of a morally beautiful spirit

Steers away 

The silent screams from Ill Health,

Or from Worry and Fear and Silence.

Shining through the tinted cathedral windows;

Or settling on the burnished waves like the Sun rests

Its broad head upon it.

Where the Ocean's echoes 

Are such as if one

May not find comparison 

On this Earth... .
