justified.beauty

Is it safe to land? Am I coming in clear? I am getting tired of all this circling...


Set a course to spread your wings...
Are they mended or broken or just a little out of align?
You take a giant leap and soar above the deep waters below...
Will you fall or will you fly?

Some things are just meant to remain a mystery. A deep seeded distant dream. We try to manage a way to bring it closer to us, tainting the very innocent beauty that was meant to remain untouched.

Walking in the forest of our desires, we listen to the whispers of the wind, gently speaking a heavenly tune only our senses can understand.

A raindrop slowly falls upon my cheek. A downpour of shadows come falling all around me. I am drowning in a sea of flooded tears. Whose are they? Mine, yours and His. I don't quite understand the meaning, but they mean everything and more.

Silently a dream awakens my heart. A tear for everyone that was left behind. No one told me it would be this way, but everything happens for a reason. A tired weight remains within. A sense that I was meant for more than this. A wave tries to wash me away, but You are stronger than any storm. You uphold me and carry me ashore. I was once broken, but no more.

There are no words I can say. You make all things new. Even the barren lands of an empty heart. A justified beauty...

Beauty once broken on the floor.
Beauty once taken to your door.
Beauty circling around the thorns.
Beauty bleeding to my core.
Beauty that was empty.
Beauty that was torn.
Beauty that was beautiful no more.
But You came.
To save me,
because You made me.
The ends justified the means
Of a beauty all Yours.
