What beauty lies within my mind?

The Grace of the Gifted

By: Ethan West


What beauty lies within my mind?

In which my heart is all but vague

What precious perils are benign

And why was love I killed now saved?


She came across me as I worked

My mind on anything but love

She saw my value, knew my worth

And brought me heaven like a dove


And now my restless soul does rest

It lies awake in turmoil's sleep

For my old wound bound heart to breast

Within her eyes so dark and deep


And as a tear fell from her eye

My heart lay bare in my own face

I held within a stifled sigh

And now I want to fill the space


Can you allow me this one grace?

That I may now beside you lay

To see the beauty of this place

And in your heart, forever stay

We all do tend to go through what you described as transition or where we cross that bridge from getting hurt and having been living the shadow of the same person for so long to the idea of caring for someone else. I am a huge believer in love and know that it can happen for those who really want it.

The character seems to be someone who is ready to look for the next person who could bring a healthy heart into his life. You succeeded in creating an impression of effectiveness. Good job!

Many excellent lines are written here, especially near the ending. The last line was a near-perfect way to end up a poem this graceful.

Graceful, a good way to put the tone. Thanks a ton for the review I'm really glad you liked it!
This is absolutely without a doubt one of the most stunning things I've ever read. Beautiful job. I especially love that last stanza, I find that it's the most gracious stanza in the poem. Amazing. :)
