It's Beautiful
My vision was to come home and clean the bathtub, run a hot bubbly bath, pour a glass of strawberry Zinfandel wine, and relax. My vision became blurry when it dawned on me that one had football practice plus the other played on equipment touched by a thousand others. However, my glass still was filled and instead I sat in my bed relaxed sipping on my glass of strawberry goodness. But as I sat reading my past poems I started to reminisce. Its beautiful to know that love never dies. It might hide or drive by, but it never truly dies right? Well, it might say goodnight. Take a flight far far away to visit, but as we all know it will always revisit, right? It's beautiful to hear honeyed expressions roll off the mind to existence. The thought of wonder but then I am brought down to reality by the grotesque being within. Knowing that we won't win. Yet, it's still a piece of me that says...It's beautiful, right?

Right, right and right very beautiful indeed, just like you. Their is nothing grotesque within you, we all have things we are not proud of but God forgives us, and if he does so should you.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I do not understand the "Knowing that we won't win."
We are with God, and he has already claimed victory.
"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."1 Corinthians 15:57

Your piece captures a poignant blend of longing, nostalgia, and the bittersweet realities of life. The imagery you've painted, from the initial vision of relaxation to the interruptions and eventual acceptance of a different reality, evokes a sense of wistfulness that many can relate to. The theme of love's endurance despite its challenges resonates deeply, reminding us of the enduring beauty found in human connection, even amidst life's uncertainties and imperfections. The contrast between the idealized "beautiful" moments and the acknowledgment of harsh realities adds depth to your reflection, ultimately inviting readers to contemplate the complexities of love and existence. Well done!
