beauty

in the light

 

i wonder…what makes people perceive something as beautiful.

sometimes something just needs a new name, or to be hung on a clean, white wall so that people can look at it in a new way.

beauty
i have always wanted a body to adorn me
i think that will bring to me love and acceptance
even my own
though i never thought i had beauty
i still desire
i compare my body and labels and trivialities 
my body is in the process of decay
now beyond denial
i detect life within
and perhaps
a Love resides there
some kind of beauty grows there
God is taking away dead layers
allowing new birth within
my soul is His
His garden
i know
the layers will go

i am a woman
past the sell-by date
no glances my way
it’s okay, i guess
i mean
it’s not like
i was ever all that
fresh
