Blessed Inside Beauty
A poem for the times when our mistakes become a hope for others

Blessed inside beauty, she walked alone.
Upon streets of dirt and stone, inside alone.
Bare feet tied earthbound ground, alone, she watched.
Her heart open since birth, bound in neglect, she broke alone.
Shadow paths flow in darkness sound, she leaves alone.
Her truth shows guidance toward home.
A gift, purified air released in sighing breath,
A wild soul now judged by lustful attempts to snare.
Watchful eyes now fade to dust.
She lives alone.
Light slices through night, her true form combusts.
Alone earth bound, transversing dirt and stone, she listens.
Air dust combusts careful lust, she listens.
Inside her light reveals a heart condemned to care.
She walks,
She listens.
She grows.
Fear once encased inside her beautiful soul, released.
Glorious, grace a hopeful light, darkness bathed strangers
Tethered no longer she walks hand and hand among nights angels.
