Something Beautiful of You
Just yesterday I saw something so
Beautiful of You
That I stopped mid-breath.
Today I saw something so
Beautiful of You
That my heart skipped a beat.
Something Beautiful of You
Tomorrow, O Lord,
I wait anxiously –
Will you snatch me away
completely?
*
You are Beautiful
You are not only Beautiful for what Beautiful things You are,
but You are Beautiful also for the things You are not.

It rains now
Like the russety covers in fall
Like the parent of a child small
He even makes the raindrops small
So they don´t hurt when they fall.
Benevolent unto us
Did you create writing
Thinking of this day
When people would write
Out of love for You?
Could You be so benevolent
unto us?
*
How come?
Sand
of myriad grains
no end.
People
of myriad brains
able.
But you come
just to snatch my tiny heart away.
– How come?
*
World of beauty-day
My poems will have to
end one day,
Verily because I shall make my life
end one day.
But You will not let Your creation, poetry
end anyday.
You wake us up once again
In this world of beauty-day
And long silence-night
And no one to tell
And leaving no choice
But to sit up and write.
*
When I want to see You
*
After the rain
Every stalk of grain
Gently and happily shaking
Under careful Blessing
Moving flowers to be
Like you and me.
-Patanga Cordeiro
