• When I Behold The Beauty Of Your Soul

    From Ilya Shambat@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 17 13:58:42 2021
    When I behold the beauty of your soul,
    I see the diamonds fine and cut apart
    That have through years been compacted from coals
    As tragedies heaved on your precious heart.

    The diamonds, sharp and potent and yet fragile
    Attainment of the matter of the earth
    And you - so tender, delicate, and agile
    Each day a death - and in it a rebirth:

    To grow through agony and through the heartache
    And never to give in, but to give more:
    And greet each day with joy and light and passion
    As though it was to last forevermore:

    To give your all, and still to give to people -
    To do all that you can and further still:
    To be your greatest and the most simple:
    Accomplishment of love directing will:

    Thus to remain ethereal and uplifted
    And show the truth of what on earth can be
    When one so lovely, generous and gifted
    As you, can live and fathom and be free -

    And show what life can be, as it's intended,
    Embodied in resplendent heart - that's you -
    Where present and eternity are blended
    And life's sublimity can bloom anew.

    The beauty of your soul, when seen completely,
    Is timeless, endless, exquisite and true
    And so my sweet, I say to you discretely:
    The diamond of the universe is you.
