BEAUTY BEYOND THE GRAY

When I look in the midnight sky-
the stars look like billions of glittering eyes
Where the memories dance around
looking for solid ground.
It is where my true love sleeps
-and my heart forever weeps.
But tonight my heart beats with comfort,
I am feeling safe.
All my weight of thoughts and sadness
had been lifted just for a moment.
There are no words to express my feelings
that I could ever pour out on paper.
As the sun started lifting up
- in the early morning rise,
I saw the art painted up in the sky
with the good memories of you and me.
Oh, I look around the fields-
and I can see all that is truly real,
the beauty of the land where it is I stand,
beyond the gray, I have seen better days,
that is moving my way.
Though the winds are all still,
the art is in the eyes that truly beautifies
the lovely butterflies that are dancing around
the green grass where you lay in peace.
Where ancient years of sighing in angel tears
that last almost a lifetime of missing you,
upon on that big mountain of beautifying spring,
through the stony path of the past -
where billions of hearts have truly sung for thee.
Oh, the beauty beyond the gray
-is where my love will forever lay to sleep.
The ground is parched and cracked-
where many headstones lay among the graves
and all the wildflowers were once dried up and dead.
But not today,
I see the beauty that is beyond the gray,
the fields of the glitter of sunbeam -
that shines on every wildflower in showering rains.
Oh, how I see the beauty of wild sunflowers swaying
into the cool breeze of memories of you.
All your words of truth touched my weeping heart
and washed away my pains for the day.
