God showed me a glimpse of your Beauty
But when I came back for it you were gone
When you were gone my heart broke
I searched everywhere
Then I began searching in everyone
In everything
I told people what I had seen
I told them yes, it is real
But they didn’t believe me
They didn’t care
Sometimes I’d see a woman on my travels and it would hit me again
When I saw her I always tried to get her but she was always gone
My whole life was spent like this
And the next one
I’d even dream of it
She would keep me awake
Any of them
The Flash
Come to think of it I saw the flash before
Not with mum but with a Lady
A teacher
When I was a kid I would try to grab the beauty from them
They were it
I tried to be it
I tried to be it with them
The rest was grey
The rest was dead
The flash was colour
No one else saw it
None of the other kids
They lived grey
Was I more grey for having seen it
I think so
Because I could never get it
Not even in you My Love
And it drove me up
I had no one to speak to about it
But for more than a life it was all that was real
The flash hurt
But I never gave up on it
I never stopped chasing it
Sometimes I’d try to paint it or write it
But I couldn’t
One day God stopped me and said
My Love you will never get it
Only when you let go
Will it come
Let go of the flash
But when did it come?
He said go into the case
The case had my Art
flashes flashes flashes of beauty
Many beauty’s
with no where to go
they had been seen
but the beauty got trapped
They had been seen
but something had gone wrong
They had fallen into Darkness
And all of the Art
Was Lost
It was lost here
In the case
Here I saw the Flash
Greater than I’d ever seen it
I felt the pain
As A girl
I felt it
My heart broke that night, open
And I never ever saw the beauty again
I never saw it in her
I felt it in me
And the next time I saw her she was not gone
The next time I saw her she said I was beautiful
It was the first thing she said
And I will never forget it
Someone not grey
Someone who sees it who feels it
When my Art was in the case I couldn’t paint
Now I paint and paint and paint
The Art is there and so is she too
I have never looked for it again
I have never looked for her
Now they say I am beautiful everywhere I go
I am known for it
Now everywhere I go it is not grey
They say how did you do it?
I said I had to lose it first
I lost it so bad
Then the case
They said oh, the case
And they carried on
They carried on with their case and I knew they wouldn’t look in it
It wasn’t heavy enough yet
They would carry it for a few more lives
Until they couldn’t take it anymore they would
Until they were driven to despair
Almost madness
From all the grey
Only then would they look
Only then would madness drive them in
Only then would they cry out to God at all of the grey
Only then would they say that God is no God for it
No God to create such a grey world
Then they will have the courage
They will go into the case because it is time
Because they can do nothing else
God said he only gave them the case to show them the grey
To show them the beauty
In the end
To show them that originally it was beauty
And it will always come back to it
In every case
God never in all of the years made someone without a case
It is the only thing they must have
Because without the case there is no chance for beauty
And Beauty is all there is
When God made everyone he gave them a case
In heaven they call it The Grey
In Heaven they call Earth the journey to The Grey
Where the case gets more and more and more and more
And then less and less and less and less
They forgotten about Beauty now
They forgot it
The times now,
The cases are very Heavy
But people are getting tired
Tired of The Grey
People cannot take it
More people are coming to God he says to protest
More people are finding the case
God is happy when more people come he gets happy and he watches them open the case
He watches their journey to the case and he watches them let it all go
He watches the grey life,
And the Beauty come,
In every single one.
