Why are poems (with bits of free verse) coming one after the other to me in the last 24 hours?
This one started in the middle of my early morning--after a rough night.
Your Face is Beautiful to Me
O God, Your face is beautiful to me
Although with feeble eyes, it's One I cannot see.
Unseen, yet loved, encased in mystery,
My God of love, Your face
is beautiful to me.
I stand at kitchen window, seeing naught
But You--
The view
Is hidden from my eyes of flesh and not
one I can describe
to any tongue or tribe
Except for this one thing--
My heart takes wing
From flesh and earth and dust
When once I see with trust
The look upon Your face, the smile,
That gives me strength to trudge a mile
Footsore and raw
With every flaw,
Inspired, though, by what I saw
A moment ago
By my window.
Heartfelt and beautiful
