The True Beauty

I lay sobbing silently into my pillow,
Trying to subdue the scream in my throat.
So appalled by my very existence,
I beg God to release me from this life.
I have squander his precious gift,
And am now hideous in mine own site.
My sobbing grew louder into wails of great pain.

I am void, without meaning or purpose to this world.


But there, in that blackest of black, a tiny light twinkled,
And suddenly a beautiful universe burst before me,
Brilliant colors flowing and evolving,
Then rolling into even more glorious vividness.

Birth after birth, more exquisite that the one before,
Enthralled and entranced at this hidden cosmos.
I was in awe of it's magnificence beyond any I had ever beheld,
And quietly God whispered..."This is the true beauty of you".

    Lovely! I really like your 2nd verse - there's just so many lines I like. I love how you have taken the inner darkness and swirled it with a new beautiful life. Very nice.
    Thank you 'Spiritual Nature' for such a lovely entry.
    best wishes in the contest.
