he is so beautiful

he is so beautiful

but i did not see it until i closed my eyes and all

and i heard him pray with words celestial

not with worry not tempermental

not that the outside is not fine

but the inside was close to divine

for what is housed in his heart

was observed almost like art

it came to me a masterpiece starting

as a plate with paint filled pegs sparkling

on a summer day a mushy hot mess

to see it transform after a brush stroke and guess

into reality something i saw with my soul

a mature old soul

mecifully placed

in an empty young rebellious case

you were stopped at the moment

you thought your goals were being kept

but when you decided to take things into

your own hands and present you to

the world, God squeezed your heart and you fell

only to have Him lift you up and you could tell

you knew fairly well

that you were protected from the gates of hell

he is quite special and has been touched

by the Almighty Father and pretty much

nothing will stop him

except him

he cannot stop

and should not stop

because he has come too far now

to even question how

God has taken him so far

and from his past placed afar

to the spiritually discerned the beauty within

outshines and wins

the beauty from out

that without a doubt

is there

but where

does it fit in the scheme

of his life in the scene

of the moment

i saw with my eyes, shut and all

that he is so beautiful
