There is Beauty

There is Beauty

A Poem by Calissa Knox

Look at the sun, setting over the ocean.
There is beauty.
Look at the trees, dancing with the wind.
There is beauty.
Feel the departure of the one you trusted to stay.
Feel the rejection, the tears, the hurt, the pain.
Look at the sunset over the ocean again.
It reflects the memories of a distant love.
Look at the trees dancing again.
You start to sway with melancholy sadness.
Feel the pen in your hand, scribbling out your deepest hurt.
Feel the sweet release of tears falling on pages of your heart.
Look at what you've created from brokenness.
Look at how far you've come.
Feel your heart rising up from the ashes...
There is beauty.

not much i can say.. surprisingly after all this time, this poem brought out feelings that i havent had or wanted to think about in years,

Look at what you've created from brokenness.
Look at how far you've come.

Feel your heart rising up from the ashes...

this part resonated with me, because to me it was saying.. that no matter how much destruction or hurt or suffering, or even how much heartbreak, we endure on a daily basis in this world. that we can still create something so magical, so meaningful...
i dont know if this part is correct but i feel like you are writing from the deepest part of your heart, and if this is true then i thank you for both writing this. and being confident enough to post it online for the world to see,
thanks for changing my perspective, hope to see you do it again
