True Beauty Poem by Stephen Gradwell

Oh beautiful white light,
Let me hold you till I break,
Willingly drag me through the cruel,
I wish I never met you till it was too late.

Sitting here, slumped, in love,
Nothing is better than what you can give,
Take me away from my mortal bonds,
Show me more lights,
Please, show me more beautiful lights.

Whispering in my ear, supernatural claims,
Flying at the speed of light,
Cross the universe, back again,
Teaching me and filling me with everything,
Represented in the pure beauty of time and space,
Looking down at earth, superficial at best,
Drifting off by choice one more time, no bonds of reason, just lights,
A feeling of unearthly ecstasy, I never expected at all,
Nobody could deserve such a wonder,
Nobody could design it,
My mortal mind knows I deserve to go back,
So the lights carry me back home.

Yet from what I've seen,
And what I've found,
It dug me a ditch to jump in,
Still looking for a way out,
Because that place was so perfect,
I must have been dreaming.
