Found Within You...

Talking to Michelle southeast of Thunder Bay while she painted the sky for me...
"Found Within You"
It's hard to get a grasp
The pain that's twisting
So deep inside
All the way down
You were the whole world
Everything I knew
To be good
To be kind
To be the wonderful
In beautiful rewind
Of beautiful define
The hurt it is real
The tears that follow
They are real too
Learning of a love
Previously unknown
To be true
Everything about you
Inspired me through
I just don't know how
To feel everything I do
Broken in two
My soul has been shattered
No way to construe
I'm not a hider
Nor do I run
I feel the emotion
I lean right into
Because of the good
The kindness of you
I'm seeing a strength
Inside myself
A different kind
I never knew
The weight of my pain
Is crushing me down
An impossible force
Feeling it all around
But still I am standing
I'm standing for you
But that's not enough
So my strength grows
Out of the pain
The love I know true
I feel a conflict
Between the two
But I know the reason
My internal dispute
So the pain I lean into
Because of the love
The underlying reason
That forever changed
Everything about me
And all that I knew
All of that feeling
All of that love
Your beautiful infuse
It gives me the courage
To find my way through
But more than all that
Far, far beyond
My vision grows
Beyond the horizons
Of my understanding
I dive into
To paint your name
Into the skies and the clouds
Way up above
So the world can see
What I've known all along
The beauty of you
So, I'm not afraid
Of the soul crushing pain
Because more than it hurts
It strengthens me through
From that very love
The love that is you
And when I look within
To see what is there
A book full of lessons
Given from beyond
Showing layers of truth
And the far reaching grasp
A timeless imprint
For all that you touched
The humanity you showed
That I aspire to know
The pain in my heart
Paints pictures in mind
Teaching me still
From a foundation of you
I'll paint a masterpiece
Can never be torn down
The only way I know how
Fueled by that very love
Found within you
In full gratitude
Michelle Ana Fabian
I'll paint it for you
