HER

Sometimes I feel this beauty inside

It climbs up and wants to be seen

Wants me to translate something

I can then share with human beings

It's a beauty found in a moment

It's a beauty found in a place

It's a beauty found in a thought

Or a look in a person's face

It's the sight of clasping hands

Or running fingers through hair

It's a hug at another's arrival

Or a stranger in total despair

It's a homeless man on a corner

Or a pastor preparing to preach

It's a woman gone into labor

Or a love that's just out of reach

It's the sizzle in someone's perfection

In an art they've worked so hard for

It's the sound of distant music

Or unexpected knocks at the door

It hides in myriad instance

It rustles through branches and trees

It climbs all the highest mountains

And is obvious once it's been seen

When I look deep down inside me

For that something so awesome and pure

Mine has a face and a body

And one day

I'll spend it

With Her
