The prettiest things I see (revamp)

The prettiest things I see
is not blissful endings in tv
Bed of roses that mold fresh clay of minds
into make-believe
Not brave, handsome masks
that put up a bold display
Winning accolades, swooning honour

But the gentle hands that cradle
the cry from featherbeds
Solace that speaks silence in volume to
tear of a tear
The touch that patches up wallpapers
down teary memory hallway
A beat of the heart that pounds
courage to fragile skins
The swiftness of grace that loosens
the grip on furnace's trigger
A warm hug from the love
that promises strength in weakness
The sweet, obscure trail of legacy
left by people who called themselves ordinary.

super nice!

The swiftness of grace that loosens
the grip on furnace's trigger - means those people who preach to bring other ppl back from hell's grip
