something greater

kind perception is an act in which i am far from endowed,
as mahogany eyes flood, entirely void of faith,
and realization sets in; civil endeavors are a loss.
none seem amiable nor worthy of holding my regard;
yet, those fair, golden-specked windows can save.
in spite of the bane of society, at my feet and in my face,
glorious beauty does pour into each spoken word and look.
the sincerity i had believed a tale, indeed shines bright.
my wasted body may rest in peace, to rise fitter and cured.
apprehension gives way to hope in something more:
"there has to be something bigger than this"
yes, i do believe in the best of those words, once more.

The transformation of enlightenment was captured well. Shades of despair give way to hopefulness.

I like the transitions from idea to idea. I think that your verse is more refined than most found her on writers cafe. This piece wants to be read and has something to say. I would suggest capitalization, but really that is one of the only things that I can find off with it.

Fantastic transformation.. great meaning and flow from your heart and mind.. your last 2 lines are so powerful.. you just don't know how much so.. that you can find that kind of power in these tough times is simply divine!!!

"there has to be something bigger than this"
yes, i do believe in the best of those words, once more.

If all we have left is hopes, aspirations, beliefs and dreams then this is more than any material holdings anyone can ever possess.. you have more than anyone when you can achieve and believe!!!
