BeautyBeast


Greatest to the least

God is the Beauty I am the beast


The King sends his servent's love letter invites me to his table

I return excuses covering my face in shame unable


Not a light in my cave a place I stay

My soul dim a grave scares many away


The King sends again more of his faithful noble men

Long live the Kings beckons of you once more and again


The shame of my name to say the least

the hunger pains gave way and Yes I said to the feast


Fear and dread on the path of all I would see

As I would behold His Royal Majesty

what would He think of me


Grieving regret of leaving my place

as glanced away from the jesters mocking face

all eyes sore looking at me

pointing unbecommingly


Down this way they would say right down the hall

I was left alone to walk in my soul and skin crawled


To late to turn around

Castle on the lock down


As I approached the open door

I heard foot steps on the floor


To afraid to look up a warm voice said

Welcome, that eased my dread


Please sit and eat and drink of this new wine

Trembling I took and ate as I did something changed in time


The more I ate of the Master's table

The hunger fleeted but looking up unable.


His presence on my mind distracted me

Something in that moment I didn't see


His words soothing and oh so kind

for once my looks He didnt mind


He gets up approaching with his hand out asking me

Would you like this dance, yes I said quietly


As we embraced

I looked into his face


Amazed I behold

light in his eyes more to be told


I studder, I to need leave as He said WAIT, there's something you need to see

He held a mirror in front of me


Shame dug deep due to my name the Beast

the decay of mortal nature I am the least


Look again He said wiping my tears dry

Reluctantly I gave it one more try


I couldn't believe who is in that window so clear

He said, that beauty is you He said with cheer


But how can it be this happened to me?

He pointed back to his Table

Thanks! I looked at the site you offered, such a blessing. I many years ago I think I was 24. I met online first timer online a lady from the south. She was from a large family from way back in a day when owning a baby aligator wasn't against the law yet and I asked her if the aligator ever swam in the toilet and clogged it.... from there we bonded and she sent me a prayer book that was titled "Prayer that Avails Much " for mothers.

I realise over time reading and praying those outlined biblecal versed prayers transformed how I prayed. It is good to refresh memory of those, but over time naturally one can truly express the new born spirit man uprightly in their own heart given prayer that branched from those outlined prayers offered.

Thank you for sharing
