Am Beautiful

Beautiful
This first night
Beautiful
This emotion free from plight
I have weathered my last fight
Beautiful
This new life

Smiling
And tired in the dawn light
Whispers so quietly
I know I'll be alright
So glad in my defeat
I didn't destroy everything
Beautiful

This first night
Feeling alright
Once more beautiful
The starlight just out my window
And purring love beside me
Sweet treasures abound
All around me
Beautiful

Standing up again
Off my knees
Finding again
My friends
Beautiful
But they all are just a whim
Passing me as they please

I am still just here
And I have stolen some peace
Even for just a while
So I can be beautiful
And again at ease
Tired of fear
I release
Into the dawn

Into the dawn
The light is coming on strong
I am beautiful
The world will alight me
The light delight me
And I will sing along
With the song of dawn
All gold and beautiful
Within and around me

Though I am not without my darkness
For today I will not give it my thoughts
I will not feed it’s lusts
I will not give it strength or trust
I will not cry aloud that this world is unjust

I am to be happy
And I am beautiful
The truth is all around me
I will live again alight and shining
Today is another beginning
In an existence unending
Unbending
And winding about the tapestry
Of silence
