Uncertainty will fill my days

The hope I reach for seems opaque

The view I have is always blurred

My best attempts found wanting

My gratitude got left behind

Or left somewhere it's hard to find

A way to realise what's good

Take time to look around me

But when I notice beauty

Encouragement comes to me

Make beauty part of me

It's doesn't seem enough to be merely something that I see

There's something more profound to beauty

I can't find the words

I want to be united with the beauty that I see

To be part of it

And beauty to become a part of me

Self-medicating's not the way

It doesn't give it takes away

The life that's waiting here for me

If I'd only pay attention

The crutches I use are made to break

They leave me lying on my face

Down in the dirt so I can't see

The gifts that the moment's holding

The things I'm slow to turn to

Mystery beauty alludes to

Make beauty part of me

It's doesn't seem enough to be merely something that I see

There's something more profound to beauty

I can't find the words

I want to be united with the beauty that I see

To be part of it

And beauty to become a part of me

A secret on the breeze the fragrance of a flower I've never seen

A whisper on the wind the echo of a tune that's never been

I've never travelled there

But there's conjured memories of a distant land

Oh mystery take my hand

Make beauty part of me

It's doesn't seem enough to be merely something that I see

There's something more profound to beauty

I can't find the words

I want to be united with the beauty that I see

To be part of it

And beauty to become a part of me
