Such Beauty Becomes My Mystery Poem by DR.GENNY ANDERSON

I think about nothing.
I am at total peace with the silence.
But in order to experience peace,
The silence consumes my conscience.

As I contemplate consequences of my state.
I gaze into the clouds and see a face,
A reminder of you.

Such beauty remains a mystery.
Such beauty Becomes my misery.
When will the silence overthrow the pain
Boxed inside my head like an enraged animal,
Locked in a cage, strugling to be free like a bird.

Flying up, up and away,
In order to be closer to your beauty in the sky?
Many I have loved so easy,
But death has fallen much quicker.

The heavens would enrapture my world
Like the perfect storm,
And destroy everything that makes a man weep.
The tears are my mirror.
I see myself when I awake
And when I die each night.
It is death because you do not lay by my side.
