)(


He saw the pain written in her eyes
(,,,,,  & her scars )

They told him it was a

Masterpiece of Beauty

••

They told him he should take a few steps
Back ..

& he would see

::::

So he did .

////

And then he could see the whole girl

In relationship to her scars

& then he could see

The one girl

In relationship to her world


And then he could see

The scars

The girl

Her world

In relationship

To the whole world

::

And then he could see that the world

Was scarred

But if he stepped back he could see

It was a masterpiece

And then he stepped back and saw

The power and beauty of eternity

And he felt glad

•

But he could no longer see the girl

Or her scars

For she was so small and insignificant

Somewhere in eternity

And her pain seemed so insignificant

And her scars seemed so insignificant

Because her life seemed so insignificant

Because she didnt step back into eternity

To find real beauty

But only stepped back a few feet

To admire her scars

Amid the admiration

Of other scarred people

within the safety

Of their insignificance
