Mural
I wanted to say…
That not all paintings are simple.
When I look at you,
I see stars for eyes,
Flower petals for skin
And faults and flaws all at once.
But I see perfection in those flaws.
Even if some days your stars dimmer behind salted water,
And your flowers refuse to bud without honey.
Well, honey…
In those flaws, I look...
I find all of those unique shards of painted glass form into a mosaic.
I see them reflecting an image from a time,
Where you were covering those shards with leaking watercolor,
Trying to hide what you thought was wrong.
But sweetheart,
You can’t cover perfection.
I still see uniqueness in simplicity,
Beauty in what has to be seen,
And love,
You are not blind.
Your vision is just a little cloudy.
But you are the one who made that mirror.
Let it shine sterling silver,
With a touch of rose colored stardust.
Look at the glass, and smile…
Understand that it was never broken.
Just, covered.
