Suddenly Beautiful
A dream passes, tranquil;
Realization of the vision.
Shimmering, translucent;
Keeping focus captured.
"I have known you before,
But had yet to realize...'
A breeze that caresses the soul,
Straining to conquer the zephyr,
Becoming impaled by pulchritude;
The finality of the enraptured.
'...you're
Suddenly beautiful."
Touch a distant fervor
And the blaze rages,
Magnificently radiant;
A chimera to give chase.
"I have known you before,
But had yet to realize...'
Crashing into the sun!
Only an angel could fall farther,
Wings glistening in agony,
Descending into your grace.
'...you're
Suddenly beautiful."
