Haiku about Beauty

November 11th, 2007 by Atomictumor

One year ago now
I had an epiphany
Of a certain sort.

We were on the roof
Of the GAC garage
(Wasn’t called that yet)

Was talking to Bos
Had “Moment of clarity”
And I understood.

Called it “The Beauty”
And it saw me through trials
And it sustained me.

No matter how low
Or how hard my life became
It kept me focused

I knew it was there
Even when I couldn’t see
Because of the hurt

I still understand
That I don’t know much at all
But I don’t have to

I know that I love.
I love my little punk kids
Who went through it all

Love my lady so
Who is sweet grace and beauty
And who understands.

    Beautiful fall days
    surround me with comfort as
    my mind drifts to past.

    Latest tragedy
    reminds me of prayerful days
    like salt in the wound.

    Questioning my God-
    Why are youthful lives cut short
    love’s left in such pain?

    Testimonies of
    faith and love that is renewed
    reasons to move on.

    I can’t say I know
    what that beauty is all about.
    Part of me wants to.

    Lately, I’ve been down
    in a place where I don’t know
    what faith really means

    I have trouble with
    what I can’t see right in front
    of my two eyeballs.

    That’s a figure of
    speech, as I know the beauty
    I’ve seen time to time,

    exists in ways I
    can’t communicate to you,
    but can witness to.

    Just read Ashley’s passed
    So much sadness for the loss
    hard to understand

    It’s all so crazy…
    Life and death seem so random
    How can they be, though?
