turning away from beauty

this is the closest i have stood to embodiment
and the clearest view i have been given
of a dream, so sweet and pleasant
this is almost as real as happy ending
and i do not want to leave this place

this must be God's kindness
God's imagination unleashed for me to touch
this must be heaven
or a foretaste of it
this must be...



but why do i keep hearing you say
that something better awaits me?
if i will take my eyes away from this
and push my feet to leave
then i will find you on the other side

why do you lure me
and entice me
with beauty good as answer to a prayer?
why do you test me
and captivate me
only to tell me, 'time to let go'?

did i not vow faithful to you
beyond emotion
but grounded on decision?
have i not promised
your will will be done
beyond my own desire?

so this is me letting go
this is me unconcerned
this is me without a care in the world

so bitter will be sweet
pain will be comfort
loneliness will be satisfaction
surrender will be joy

for you are sweetness
you are comfort
you are satisfaction
you are joy

everything else can fade away
