For Beauty Lost
For Beauty Lost
The arrows of your words pierced through my heart
And did not stop until they reached the soul.
Embedded there the poison ripped me apart,
No longer could I feel that I was whole
But torn and shattered, a fragment man who bled
For beauty lost and truth become a lie.
Then all the body’s energies seemed dead.
Will healing come or must we always die
And thwarted find no solace from above
Like wounded spirits who walk the world in pain.
I do not know but once an hour of love
Brought hope that love divine might rule again.
