The beauty raged against the pain
It met a wave of rage
Just a little beauty
Against a sea of suffering
Just a little light
Shining on the infinite fight
Beauty against a beast
Something stirring underneath
The stuff of dreams
The meat of a story
The deciphering of sin
The monkey trying to become human
The leap
The race
The forever war
Beauty against pain
The brain or the body
Novelty or a shitty copy
The little beauty stood against the raging sea
And let the waves crash against her
All alone she stood
Fighting the chaos
Protesting against the myths
A little spark of humanity
Looking up at all of eternity
And finding
True
Beauty . . .
She didn’t waver
Or look for help
She just looked up
Into all of eternity
A seed of hope
A grain of romance
A twinkle of a miracle
Flickered in her eyes
As she tried
To be more than before
To be beauty in the pit of suffering
To shine so someone else can see
She was shining for you and me . . .
An impossible stand
A preposterous mission
An absurd vision
A little beauty in the pit of suffering
A human invention
A spark of intuition
More than just the material
A real human living in the real world
Flesh and blood
Created here and now
Not by a God above
A person in the present
Choosing who to be
Living for us
More than greed and lust
A pocket of free will
To fight against the wheel
She stood alone
Against it all
While certain eyes screamed for her to fall
Through it all
She stood tall
Just to be
Beauty
Something for us
To believe in again
So when we are in the pit that feels like it’ll never end
We can climb out
And see beauty again
