Favorite Quote:
"Get busy living or get busy dying." -Andy Dufresne, Shawshank Redemption


We cannot see Beauty, we cannot see Grace
Just as we cannot see single threads in soft embroidered lace
To pick apart the pieces
To see the picture true
We only see the Ugliness that drives Us through and through

The curse that's laid upon Us
That's filled our hearts with Dread
Has forced Us all to see the Worst
As Best is driven from Our heads

But what if we saw Beauty? What if we knew Grace?
Would it change the way We look at things
And put Us in our place?

For We are not but tiny leaves
Drifting through Our Fear
And We are nothing to the World
Who doesn't know We're here

She tries to show Us Beauty
She tries to show Us Grace
But We ignore it like the Fools We are
Focused only on the human Face


The author's comments:
Just a blurb of mine I quickly wrote down on a shoebox of mine (I didn't have a pen near me then...or I was too lazy to go get one) a long time ago and shoved it back under my bed. I was cleaning my room couple days ago when I pulled it back out and found it again. I didn't have the sense to date the blurb when I wrote it so I'm going to estimate it to be 1yr 1/2 old or so.
