Something Beautiful
Write me something beautiful
something that raises my faith
to believe outside of this world
there is something worthy of a smile
a deluge, a flood, an ocean
a soft rain, a tear, a broken heart
somewhere I can hide ugliness
somewhere without a key
is it there, in the wind beyond my sails?
here? in the list of my labouring hull?
in each rise over the wavetops?
in the silence between their mighty slopes?
or will it be found here
in the static of interconnected keystrokes?
write me something beautiful
someone, please, anyone
somewhere to heal
for just one night
write me something beautiful
because I can't

I love this plea...
I found beauty in the cry for solace in the form of the written word; almost as though without it being written down somewhere, it will not endure. Nicely done, ~ Geez.
