It may seem ugly

By Daniel Mason

Emerald's Notebook

I struggled to see
The beauty of life
Beleaguered by day
Yet so surreal

Down on my knees
My mouth dry —
My body weak —
My heart broken

It was so ugly
Beauty so unreal
Yet I believed it will
And so it came, yet

In the beauty came-
The ugly yet again
I am bewildered —
Yet I see his mercy

My eyes close tight
I shut out pain and ugliness
To gaze upon my saviour
The beauty I see, immeasurable

About Daniel Mason

I write from the historic protestant worldview, that is, Reformed, specifically the conservatism within that tradition. That noble line extends from Edmund Burke to F.J. Stahl, Groen van Prinsterer to Abraham Kuyper, Herman Bavinck to H.R. Rookmaaker. View all posts by Daniel Mason
