Beauty Devine

It's one of those days when it's just a minute from raining And there's this electricity in the air. You can almost hear it. Then there was this plastic bag dancing with the air. I felt like it was dancing with me, Like a little kid begging me to play with it. This is the day I realized there was this entire life behind things And this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know There was no reason for me to be afraid ever. This is the day I met you. It’s a poor excuse, I know, but it helps me remember. I need to remember you And what a good person you were And your beauty. Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't Take it but my heart just kind of gives in. I'd always heard your entire life flushes before your eyes in just a Second when your heart is in its rightful place. First of all, that one second, isn't a second at all. It stretches on forever like an ocean of time. For me, it's lying on my back at night watching falling stars And yellow leaves from trees that line our home. And my grand mother's hands and The way her skin seemed like paper. And the first time I saw my dad's brand new VW camper. And my sweet moon. Yes, my sweet moon. I guess I should be pretty sad because I haven't even seen you or Known you but it's so hard to stay sad when there's so much Beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it’s too much. My heart fills up like a balloon and it's about to bust And then, I remember to relax and stop trying to hold on to Thoughts. To memories and then it flows through me like rain and I can't Feel anything but gratitude and love for every single moment of my life and those that I think of my sweet moon. You may not know what I'm talking about. But don't worry, You will, someday.
