Something Beautiful

Something Beautiful

I am something beautiful -
a woman recreated, a
princess sweetly kissed
and awaken.

Each loss filled 10,000 fold, each
missing piece replaced anew.
A promise made to me.
This I see because of You.

I want to create something beautiful for You.
A graceful dance, soulful song, or
divine words, blessed laughter,
to bring your spirit among us.

My body into your hands,
my mind unto your use --
dressed in earthly fineries,
bedecked in heavenly humbleness;
simply fashioned as prose inspired.

Art incarnate,
voicelessly
You sing through us.

I promise, something so lovely for You.
Can a bride forget her jewels?
or a maid her ornaments?
Yet, I had forgotten You;
our divine promise shared.

But You see gold in
human fraility
and You move my soul
towards You, from You, all You.
It is something beautiful to see.

The lovely life promised in every eye.
The grace-filled moments in our hearts.
And still, I want to make
something beautiful
for You.
