“For what is a poem
but a hazardous attempt
at self-understanding:
it is the deepest part
of autobiography.”

Poem:
.
A beautiful thing
a work of art
it makes the soul sing
the flowers in the cart
the bird on the wing
Mother Nature knows her part
today my eyes must yearn to see
and learn what beauty means to me
the subtle curves of the human body
the rainbow displaying all of the colors
the culture that enjoys decors gaudy
or is it natures well camouflaged wonders
beauty grows when viewed from the heart
to touch, to smell, to imagine, satisfaction
is there a real message in abstract art
or just wishing to evoke a shocked reaction
calm, serene enjoying the aesthetic
a positive attitude of happiness
to looking beyond the artificial cosmetic
wonderful memories that are priceless
the real, the surreal, never synthetic
accepting all splendor as God’s kindness
today my eyes must yearn to see
and learn what beauty means to me
